HOOSER: A policy and politics epiphany: Think County Council - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To create new law at the state level requires the support of 13 Senators and 26 Representatives — assuming the governor is supportive. The votes of 51 U.S. Senators, 218 Representatives, and support by a president whose cognitive ability is at best questionable, is required in Washington, D.C. Yet, laws can be passed and programs funded at the county level with the support of only five or six councilmembers, whether the mayor likes it or not. (Five votes are needed to override a veto in Kauai Co
HOOSER: On PMRF lease renewal FEIS - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gotta laugh … or cry … or be angry and frustrated, at some of the language: Gotta laugh … or cry … or be angry and frustrated, at some of the language: “Hazardous materials and waste may be introduced from missiles that have landed in the GHA as a result of early flight termination.” In other words, “Missiles launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) may occasionally crash or blow up, and spread dangerous materials along the west side of Kaua‘i.” However, nowhere does it say in the

In terms of the big picture discussion, what Richard Bodien writes is absolutely true. I strongly encourage you to read his entire piece. Yes, of course there are sometimes “provisions and penalties” b
HOOSER: The ‘Lala trauma’ … what’s next? - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Without having to measure it, I know without a doubt my blood pressure is elevated, the quality of my sleep has deteriorated, and overall I feel like crap. For the past 10 days, from one end of our island chain to the other, we’ve all, each and every one of us I suspect, been wrapped in the anticipation and then the reality of Hurricane Lala. Hundreds have lost their homes, some no doubt their lives. Countless friends and neighbors have incurred damage to personal property that will never be rec
HOOSER: Aug. 8: What’s it all mean for Kaua‘i County residents? - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To summarize and speculate a bit, the next mayor of Kaua‘i will be either Council Chair Mel Rapozo, who received 7,580 votes in the Primary, or former Kaua‘i Mayor now Councilmember Bernard Carvalho, who got 5,720 votes. If Councilmember Felicia Cowden, who came in No. 3 with 3,176 votes, was not in the race, who would have gotten those votes? Those are the “swing votes” that could very well determine the winner on Nov. 3. The second question is, will the Pacific Resource Partnership (PRP) Super
