a counties function should be focused on its own unique infrastructure needs
Agree in principle -- the Big Island should be at least 2 counties, ideally 4 -- but it's irrelevant so long as the State is focused on Oahu. Neighbor islands should be their own State, or they should have a special arrangement that enables them to accept Federal infrastructure dollars without Oahu's "help".
Too many people like it just the way it is, so I'm not expecting any changes.
