"There are people in HPP who would “dispose” of any amount of fireworks for less than $1 million."
No truer words have ever been spoken on PunaWeb!
Looks like they are looking for 8 million in total to fund a new lab and a whole new division within HPD.
My take is I am all in, as long as at the same time the funding is approved, the law(s) be changed for buying, selling, smuggling, possessing or using "illegal" fireworks to a full arrest, not a citation and the law(s) is/are made a full Class A Felony, which cannot be plea bargained down, deferred away or in any other manner reduced and punishment is a mandatory sentence of up to 20 years with no parole eligibility.
If we are going to have the taxpayers cough up another 8 million and still get 94% of citations dropped, then my response would be to pound salt.
Call it the "Cassius Ramos-Benigno" Law.
