There is also a diatribe from the 8th district board member, who didn't even sign her name to it, I had to look it up, accusing the membership of being unreasonable for wanting to speak to the board at the "special meeting" they called last week. She (McLean) is the one whose husband was hired as acting GM and has been MIA during this tough time. I don't understand why they could have a 20 minute special meeting one week, and then cancel the regular meeting for this week, claiming both actions are due to the storm. This makes no logical sense, but makes it look like they are avoiding the membership who are understandably angry about the way this board conducts itself.
I hear they also fired all the road workers and are hiring temps instead, which is why the equipment just sat in the yard while volunteers used their personal equipment to clear the roads. In addition, the HUI has 2 big generators and could have been up and running to provide aid and shelter for HPP residents, instead of us all having to drive to other, smaller, subdivisions to get ice, water and charge phones. Helco told me they would have moved those downed lines to provide access if asked, but since the office and HUI were closed anyway they didn't bother.

"Helco told me"...who from Helco told you? Hind sight on the part of Helco is weak. Hearsay and gossip do not bring anything constructive to the conversation Carol.
