Puna needs to have an office available in the area, hopefully, for both Council persons. $2,000 per month (plus utilities) is the cost of having accessibility in our district.
Why should our Council people and citizens be shorted, while other districts get an office in their area? Driving to Hilo daily (in this traffic) is counterproductive, and will not provide access to the respective council persons (Dist. 4&5).
IMO, the media, as a whole, is full of propaganda these days. Moreso, we need direct communication with our representatives, and the County departments through a local PUNA office.
It boggles my mind to think this County would not afford the largest growing district in our State an office for their representatives. The way the budget looks, there's other area to cut from instead of Puna. Again.
Heck, take it out of the geothermal funds! IMO, it would be money well spent. Consider it a "relocation". (ducking...)
