"The land lays almost entirely in state jurisdiction. Mauna Kea Access Road is a county-paved and
-maintained road on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands property. Mauna Kea is not the county’s jurisdiction, yet the county of Hawai‘i has been told to bear the costs of arrests, prosecution and manpower."
“With our own administration quiet, I’m speaking up. This is our county. Too many decisions are being
made by off-island politicians and business interests...."
“I have asked for fiscal tracking of all expenses incurred by our county and an expense report Aug. 6, 2019. I urge the other counties to inquire as well what costs they’ve accumulated so far."
