Meeting and Petition for Pesky Helicopters

[Rob Tucker]

Here's my two cents:

There is a long list of issues that Puna faces. While it is interesting to cite the fact that Puna is the fastest growing district in Hawaii and many of the demographics are depressing there is a general perception about Puna that inhibits progress.

That perception is that people in Puna don't vote. Guess how much attention politicians give to a district that can't seem to get involved in it's own solutions. There are other districts who are quite happy with this situation.

For that reason I appreciate the CAOA meeting which is the reason for this topic.

In relation to other topics regarding Pahoa Village, traffic, gyms, schools, lava risks, etc. and on and on: It takes a village to make a village.

I am going to bring forward a topic I posted recently which got little attention and zero discussion. If any of you are interested in changing the perception that Punatics don't vote or get involved there are opportunities to do so.
