Pahoa Library Overdue

[Sam Son]

.     At Saturday's townhall meeting held by Senator Joy San Buenaventura for an underflowing crowd of 14 at the Pahoa Community Center, it wasn't all current legislative information, statistics, and audience diatribes about the Hawaiian Homes debacle and Child Wellness programs.  We also learned why the long-promised new library for Pahoa is not being built despite the fact that funding for the design and construction has already been allocated by the State Legislature.  It seems that County Councilmembers Ashley K. and Matty K.-K. still can't agree on where to put the Puna Bus Hub, and where the next library will be built depends on where the Hele-On fleet congregates.  And the community pays the overdue fines.

      Also -- in all honesty -- Joy rocks a miniskirt!

              Cowabunga, Dudes!
