One has to wonder the who, what, where, how and WHY of this debacle:
https://youtu.be/QpWIKAxNm4Q
"HPD’s newly converted fleet of pickups taken off patrols after safety concerns surface"
I'd wager we are looking, at the low end, of 50K a truck times 10 trucks = $500,000.00
Didn't they just allow the Hawaii County subsidized fleet to include pickups as well?
Well, I guess on the positive side, it lasted a month!
On the downside, someone(s) getting that big promotion!

…

That’s certainly fleet, converted or not.

I don't live on Oahu so this is irrelevant

Lucky you and I.
According to the forum rules:
“Local, Hawaii County and State of Hawaii politics are allowed.”
Thanks for your observation, even though it is irrelevant.

Why would you quote me the PW rules and regs?
I'm not Tom, and I'm not a hall monitor.
I have enough 'fun' watching this County foul everything up, I leave HNL to the HNL people.
Again, your thread is as irrelevant to me as my post should be to you!
Would someone please show her the ignore button?

I am beginning to think that the difference between you and one other poster is at least you can spell and don't type trying to imitate Hawaiian pidgin.

But, lucky for them, your tax dollars do.
Maybe try some of these ideas?

Technically, my tax dollars also live in Fargo, ND but I could care less what happens there as well.
I would have thought someone who claims to have lived here for multiple decades would be used to the sheer ineptitude of government officials.
At a certain point, you need to recognize that boondoggles like this pickup truck debacle are par for the hawaiian course.

I thought Puna Web was a place to discuss Hawaii topics, be it local Puna, Hawaii County or Hawaii State.
And yes, not claiming, but after living here for over 3 decades I have come to learn every facet of the sheer ineptitude of our government officials.
That should not, however, prevent one from discussing them.
In the future, may I suggest if you find any posters thread to be irrelevant to you, just move on to the next one you find relevant.
Or should each poster of a new thread clear its relevancy with you prior to posting?

You must be new to the internet.
