The Puna Geothermal Fund is a great topic and very important to Puna. My belief is that the council members from both Puna districts need to work together as Rene said and that is true for our entire island. We need to work together to create a strong sustainable Puna and Hawaii island.
I would like to hear from more members of our community, before I take a final stance on this subject. As I have said many times in is all about the community and it should never be about one person or entities agenda. If a council person has that in mind he or she will make the right decision on how to spend the money and a committee, panel, or board would not be necessary, the less layers of potential bureaucracy the better in my opinion. Every two years the community gets to decide whether or not there council member did their job and a job is what it is. If a council member does a poor job they get fired - hopefully. I like that accountability!
