parks and rec FEMA funds budget - kalianna - 10-31-2021
Some of this recovery money is destined for the Hilo golf course, dugouts in Kurtistown and Shipman Park tennis court resurfacing. Thereʻs a link in the article to tell the county what you think about this.

The County never passes up an opportunity to divert Fed or State money into an unrelated slush fund.

I'm sure all that equipment will only ever be used in Puna, so that's fine.
