HiloPuna:
We agree with you on this one.
We are gritting our teeth about Harry and the future we see.
Not too good for whoever is going to sweep up afterward we think.

Another government employee double-dipper. A pension and another government check. Will our mayor allow this department head to get overtime too?

I think it's that slack-key classic "more people movin' back to the mainland, than people movin' here".

As far as his pay goes, I believe that if one has retired from a government position, then re hired again as a government employee, he has to give up his pension unless he/she works under 999 hours, or six months a year. Also, I believe, one can not "boost" their retirement by adding years, with a "gap" in between without paying union dues during that "gap", so they would have to account their "second hire" time to be "vested" by a required amount of years to be able to pull a retirement check from that second hire time.
Of course, with "tradition", there must be a loophole somewhere.

National Park Service is federal.

Civil Defense is county.

National Park Service is federal.
Civil Defense is county.

Because, as taxpayers we feel better if we write out one of his government checks "UNITED STATES TREASURY" and the other to "DIRECTOR OF FINANCE?"

Centralized hiring or Department heads. It should not come down to either/or. It should be combination of both, which work to protect applicants from the favoritism and nepotism that ran/runs rampant in county govt. I guess Harry Kim wants to make the Big Island great again.

He fulfilled his obligation for federal retirement. Whether he works or not after that is irrelevant. There is nothing to complain about.
