Hawaii State road admin costs - Frank - 09-18-2014
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/26567105/report-hawaii-has-worst-highways-in-nation
in light of the referenced admin costs of Hawaii State roads, anyone have data re: Hawaii county admin costs for our county roads?
Mahalo in advance

Frank,
No doubt Hawaii's highways cost a lot and have high administrative overhead. But The Reason Foundation is a self proclaimed:
http://reason.org/about/
libertarian think tank that really has nothing to do with Hawaii.
They are partly funded and overseen by the Koch Brothers:

and probably aren't a good topic of dicsussion for Punaweb, which is supposed to be all about Puna, or at least Hawaii.

So, Frank makes a post that is clearly Hawaii related and links to a Hawaii story in a Hawaiian news source. But you, steve1, have non-Hawaii related philosophical and/or political differences with a source of funding, for a source of information used in the Hawaii news source, about the article relating to Hawaii. Because of your own bias you claim there is no legitimate Hawaii connection.
Wow steve1, you make quite a stretch to hijack the Hawaii related post off into non-Hawaii related political argument/bias.

You would have to get into the weeds with the County of Hawaii budget. It is public information.

It is public information.
Technically, yes, if you have a team of accountants and maybe a lawyer...
