county permitted the Puna subdivisions and HOVE in violation of their own development codes
Yet somehow this violation has never been prosecuted.
current tax rates never seem to be enough. They always want more.
By some amazing coincidence, bids for County (and State) projects always come in well above the estimate...
Borrowing money to build parks that will require perpetual maintenance and extra personnel is not a good use of tax revenue.
Again: that's a matter of perspective -- the contractors building the parks, nurseries providing landscape stock, and the newly-hired County crews that maintain those parks probably think this is an excellent use of tax revenue.
