And the boos from the crowd were deafening.
I guess Mitch has given up any hope of being reelected.

It's especially humorous that the did close alternate sites, but made sure they were too far away to be useful. Pahoa closed? No problem, just keep driving to Hawi.
See if you can detect the pattern:
- County can't force employees to be vaccinated because unions;
- County can't hire temporary transfer station workers because unions.
Don't be so sure Mitch won't get re-elected: the unions will probably give him another term.

Alternate sites will be found if you know what I mean.

I'm only too aware -- I live in that neighborhood. One of them, anyway.

Staff shortage because (presumably unvaccinated) people are home sick with COVID. Expect other closures soon.

It's a union deal.

Probably some will get overtime, mileage, and meal to drive hours across the island to cover absences. No accident they didn't stagger them locally. Gotta love the union!

They are trying to push people to commercial haulers, that have to dump at the west Hawaii dump saves the county from hauling across. And of course they probably get a cut on the side
