The problems go back to the very initial, corrupt establishment of the subdivisions. See "Land and Power in Hawaii."
I could not find the amount of back dues owed, but it is somewhere between $500,000.00 and $800,000.00--that could do a lot of road work. What roads get fixed? Its a balancing act. Not enough money, so try to find the worst and or most trafficked.
Go to a road meeting (second Tuesday of the month 5:30 at Blaines,) go to a board meeting. Join the board. See Orchidland.org for schedule and location. In my experience the unpaid, volunteers do the best they can with limited resources. How does it help to say "I won't pay until you fix MY road?"
The County and State have subdivision residents fighting each other over crumbs when the roads should be a County and State responsibility.
