Rush to put in roads

[pam jones]

It never ceases to amaze me the way our local government operates on a knee-jerk mind set! I have heard of the need for alternate routes in and out of lower Puna for over ten years and not once have I seen or heard of anything being done to improve the congestion on 130, much less offer an emergency route. As taxpayers I'm more than a little ticked that now, in the mad rush to FINALLY address something that even the untrained common citizen realized years ago. Instead very tired workers are being pushed even harder to do what could and should have been done in 40 hour work weeks a long time ago! I honestly feel that the overtime cost should come out of the back pocket of every government person who dragged their feet in not getting this done years ago.[V]
