1. Where was all this concern for the "illegal and unethical activities" when the US overthrew the sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii?
2. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of illegal cesspools and unpermitted jungalows all over the island. Will DLNR enforce regulations against individuals, or just VGS?
3. Geothermal operations also "desire to turn a profit off of State lands and our natural resources", does their payment of "royalties" make these activities magically okay?
4. Do the "anti-sustainability" folks have any constructive suggestions as to what lifestyle choices would be considered "acceptable"? So far all I'm seeing is "you can't live that way because it's illegal/unethical", which is neither aloha nor pono.
5. Will there be an "ethics complaint" every time one of our representatives puts forth a bill based on the needs of their constituency, or will this action only be taken when "certain people" disagree with the bill? Does it only apply to bills that seek to force County to write regulations that meet the needs of the people?
