Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding

There was a guy selling kiawe wood yesterday on Orchidland Dr. Maybe ask him and he would cut them down for free.

You understand that some of the trees are entangled with the live power lines? That the lines are in HECO's easement and are their property? That the lines sit immediately adjacent to billions of dollars of real estate and several thousand residents and are the power lines with the highest risk of wildfire on island? Anyone who thinks this is a job for Uncle Kimo to do for free is dumber than average, and given the lack of basic reading skills around here that's saying a lot!

Here's their website. I suspect the association can afford it. It's $75,000 . https://www.waikoloa.org/home/

Oh, so no acknowledgement that you were wrong, just off to the next inane statement? Fragile ego, admitting mistakes hard, gotcha.

Waikoloa Villages actually has like 11 HOA's so who's going to pay how much, to work on the lines that aren't theirs? It's almost like you need a working group to coordinate this effort and seek funding sources - oh wait, they already did that and it was just cut in the name of non-nonsensical ideological stupidity. Without the federal grant, HECO may be willing/able to get the work done in time and and then just add the costs to everyone's bill. As these federal funds continue to be reduced, HECO customers are going to get a real taste for what rural electricity can fully cost.

But it's all so simple in your head when you understand so little. Do you have to work hard at being this obtuse or does it come naturally after a lifetime of daily practice?

P.S. - Hi PrimalEdge! Still trying to make a go of it here? And keep your sanity? What's your secret?
