As a longtime Orchidland resident, I feel that both KeaauRich and DaVinci are closer to the truth of the situation regarding Wirick than Carol10.
KeaauRich: Many of the Board's actions during his ( Wirick ) tenure have been extremely controversial and potentially unethical (as has been documented in numerous Punaweb threads and ongoing court case).
randomq: Would really like to know more about these new candidates, particularly their voting records if any on Puna issues.
Several things concerning roads ( a Puna issue that transcends any particular subdivision ) that happened while Wirick was on the OLE board:
- Ilima had been prepped for pavement using association funds as that was the next project on the membership's voted-on schedule. That project was abruptly abandoned, the prep work allowed to
deteriorate, and instead, those monies were used to extend the pavement on 40th to just beyond the house of a member of the board of directors.
- A non-licensed contractor was paid a large sum of money to chipseal several of the main roads. Due to the poor quality of the work, the chip seal on Aulii lasted less than 48 hours before rains washed it
away. Because the contractor was unlicensed but paid ahead of time, there was no recourse.
Ruggles would have been my first choice. As someone who has seen Wirick operate, I will be donating to Matt K-K's campaign.
