Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding
#2
More clipped from Civil Beat article as linked above from HOTPE: (Bolding by me)

When (NON PUNA GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL NAME REDACTED) administration officials “say, ‘We’re cutting government funding,’ that has real-world impacts that are going to affect small communities throughout Hawaiʻi,” Congresswoman Jill Tokuda said in an interview.

The (NON PUNA AGENCY NAME REDACTED) told the Big Island garden that the agency would not reimburse about $150,000 currently owed under the grant program, despite the federal contract.

“To not reimburse them, to me, is a crime,” Tokuda said.

What a perfect way to not only decimate the small communities in the end benefits these programs bring, but also financially decimate the ones helping the small communities at the same time.

If you’re still not seeing what the real end goal here is, my guess is eyeglasses won’t help either.
