i just got off the phone with Steven Chang, Chief of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch of the Department of Health, in Honolulu.
We don't have a person from they're office on this island. Can you believe that? I can. They're funding comes from a percent of the revenue generated by the waste industry, not taxes. So they have no personel for Maui, Kauai or Hawai'i. They fly one over here quarterly.
You want to know why these developers and speculator can get away will illegal grubbing and the pushing it/dumping the grubbed forest onto the neighbor's lot. It's a felony.
Yet it will go on and on until enough people speak up.
Linda Lingle is the go to person for this as she can veto any proposal brought in the next legeslature. So we need to tell her we need a Health Department/ Solid and Hazardous Waste personel on each island, we could use 2 one Kona, one Hilo. I don't have the Gov's email but I'm sure one of you all do.
Gotta some the gutting of "our" rainforest or we'll end up looking like Kona or Pearl City.
Don't be complacent.
KEEP PUNA RURAL
