Ask Gilligan
#1
.    Puna State Representative Greggor Ilagan is currently having a series so Town Hall Meetings.  What will you ask him?  Here's my list:
     Would you please submit a new bill requiring air tours to act responsibly that can't be sabotaged by the state Department of Transportation?
     Instead of conducting a study, would you use common sense to figure out if the Ainaloa roundabout needs to be expanded or replaced with a stop light?
     Why does the state DLNR allow Mitch Roth to shut off public access to the expansive black sand beaches at Kapoho?
     Would you support hiring a crack team of graffiti artists with cans of white and black spray paint to recreate the right turn lane onto the Pahoa-Keaau Highway at Kaloli Drive?
     Flocks of 40 wobbly, traffic-blocking bicyclists holding up concrete trucks on the Red Road are not acceptable.  Would you introduce a bill to create reasonable safety regulations for bicycle tours on state highways?
     Can we accept that the traffic light at Shipman Industrial Park is a disaster?  Why not go back to the plan of having the only entrance to that business district be at the existing traffic light by the Shipman Playground?  Then all the lower Puna commuters wouldn't even know the industrial area was there.  And the next time a Honolulu legislator introduces a bill concerning Puna traffic patterns, help him to shove it.
     And why is the Shipman Estate allowed to prevent Railroad Avenue from being reconnected to serve as an emergency evacuation route?
     What's up with all of these meth-heads?  Why doesn't the Special Crimes Unit cruise Nanawale at 3:00 a.m. and make a courtesy stop at every house that has a guy just wearing shorts and slippers pacing back and forth in the carport?  Those dudes always have a lot to say when you give them a chance.   
     Has it been proven that there wasn't an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena landing at the Kalapana Star Visitor Sanctuary on Thanksgiving Day? 
     Cowabunga, Citizens!

Answer to all the above is: "no funding available".

Except for the traffic light: those cost 10x as much as a roundabout and require constant maintenance, so there's opportunity to "award a bid" and "create a job", with both going to the "right" people.

My question: if the unwashed subdivisions are really such a burden, why not cut them loose? That is, since we obviously don't need roads, why should we need permits either?

On the next episode of Puna Methheads, the Special Crimes Unit visits Nanawale. Be sure to tune in Tuesday at 8pm!
