Kalakoa, thanks for the post! Trying to absorb any and all info on this "package".
I read the info from the Mayor's office , made available by Ruggles and O'Hara.
It seemed to me that there was more of an emphasis on the possibility of a Keaau subdivision but this story suggests State land (Keonepoko) might be utilized. Time will tell, both, either, nothing?
The story also stated that a special session might not be necessary as Ige might be open to helping us short term and any long term plans could be addressed in the Jan. session. The article did state that lawmakers and the county would be meeting again at the end of this month.
Why was this not covered in the Hilo Tribune? So odd.
Kim is already asking the Council to reconsider the latest increase in G.E.T.to not be limited to transportation.....which leads me to another thought.
If the State leg. approves part or all of Kim's requests for rebuilding Puna , the Island tourism industry, etc. could ALL money appropriated be diverted to other areas of the island?
In other words, would the State leg. approval of aide be specific to specific needs listed? Or would this be a golden egg delivered to the County Admin to spend as they deem fit?
