opihikao,
I don't think anyone is questioning Leithead-Todd as a human being.
It's that she was hired as an engineer without engineering qualifications. There are engineers on island, so even if an Environmental Engineer is not available, I'm sure the county could find a mechanical, structural, or even electrical engineer to fill the position. All of which would be far more capable than an English major for that position.
