Punchline: nobody learned from the "incorrect" speed limit signs over in HPP...

This is so typical and so dumb. You spend $2000 of the taxpayer's money on signs that you don't bother to either match to the existing ones or determine whether they can be used. Did anybody think of returning them? No, they just put them in a warehouse with a vague discussion about "recycling." Instead of adding another bureaucratic layer of legislation, Ilagan should have marched over there and insisted that they either be returned or paid for by the person who ordered them. There are so many things in Puna that could use some legislative help, and he chooses this? I'm beginning to lose faith in this guy.

Of course. That way we can pay for the warehouse, the discussion, AND the signs.

The signs were ordered by Bobbye St. Ambrogio, coordinator of the Hawaii County Neighborhood Watch.

Don't blame Greggor,he is trying to do something positive and straighten out a badly written county ordinance.It's ridiculous to ban neighborhood watch signs in the private subdivisions that need neighborhood watch the most.

It's ridiculous to insist that the roads are "privately owned" while stipulating extensive regulations thereof and simultaneously turning a blind eye to enforcement of those same rules.

If County wants to control these "roads" so badly, they should be taken by eminent domain and made into actual roads.
