"prove you need it" - kalakoa - 01-17-2020

Start looking up each other's arses for all that missing money you stole from all the taxpayers. The Legislature shouldn't give a dime more to any of these individuals until they first find all that stolen money.
Truly awesome. I'm surprised it was even printed.

Yes, the word awesome is actually deserved in this instance - saved it just in case:

Prove you need it
To watch the Department of Land and Natural Resources and state Attorney General Claire Connors ask for more money from the state Legislature is almost as pathetic and uncomfortable as watching them all scramble for answers.
Everyone is looking to the other to explain to the Legislature exactly why they are there with their hands wide open wanting more money.
There are a few problems in requesting for this new funding. Hawaii state residents haven’t even seen the breakdown of the last $15 million the state gave them for the Maunakea reimbursements. We first were told that the money was allocated for the Hawaii Fire Department and Hawaii Police Department. Then we were told it was just to reimburse HPD. Then there was a point where the County Council refused to take the money. Then later, Gov. Ige makes a public announcement that we have spent $15 million in Maunakea expenditures.
Second, if law enforcement has already been pulled by Gov. Ige, and all our state and county equipment has been pulled, and DLNR as well as the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands doesn’t have a problem with the illegal camping by the protesters that is completely destroying our echo system, then what’s the problem? Where is the need for all this extra money?
You all look like a bunch of greedy and arrogant idiots who don’t want to follow the U.S. laws, but yet want to take more of our money.
You don’t listen to all the people equally. You treat all your people like red headed step-children. You continue to support a certain group of people of a specific race, and you want more money from all of us who have not all been protected or supported equally?
Try going to Office of Hawaiian Affairs and ask for some of that fraudulent money they stole from all of us. That should cover more than what you all need for your “so-called” upcoming Maunakea protesting expenditures.
Has the state of Hawaii completely lost its mind? We know that none of our state and county representatives have any ethical morals left, but seriously? And your citizens are scrapping for a dollar raise annually toward a higher minimum wage while others are pillaging and living out in the streets while you all intentionally ignore what’s going on in hopes it will just all go away?
I say the hell with all of you. Start looking up each other’s arses for all that missing money you stole from all the taxpayers. The Legislature shouldn’t give a dime more to any of these individuals until they first find all that stolen money.
In the meantime, ask yourselves: How does it feel to want?

Lisa Malakaua
I wonder if the author of that letter, Lisa Malakaua is one of “The Hawaiians” hokuili has been talking about?

My internet stalking skills have determined she appears to be a Haole who married a native Hawaiian guy and took his name, her husband (who served) has since passed.

I was going to paste the whole thing here, but was hoping instead for clickbait traffic.
It might help (for warped values of "help") if everyone clicked the link several times a day, added it to their feeds and tweets, etc. Safe bet even the HTH can figure out web analytics.

Trampling of and killing native plants
Likely spreading of ROD
Likely spreading of LFA
Big waste of $$$ and time
Perhaps not completely destroying the echo system, but doing the opposite of progress, not that that matters to some.

killing native plants ... ROD ... LFA ...
Protecting the aina from desecration!
RE: "prove you need it" - kalianna - 01-17-2020
It's ecosystem, not echo system. "Likely" ROD? " Likely" fire ants? Do you have any evidence to back up these claims?

FWIW,
My post above was obvious copypasta, not sure if that was an intentional misspelling or accidental. I might prefers echo system myself. Kind of a play on words of how some people live in an echo chamber?

noun
an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered.
