The Legislature appropriated $100 million to air condition 1,000 classrooms across Hawaii in its last session, with plans to start work Aug. 1. But Rep. LoPresti (D-Oahu) of House District 41 cited unusually high bids across the board in his request for an investigation.
Specific jobs estimated at $20K were bid at $135K, so the $100M project needs to be delayed or scaled back (or both).
So much honesty and integrity ... "for the children".
