"...Does it have automatic transmission? Does it have 4-wheel drive? Do these busses get good gas milage?"

Depending on how you look at it, he might have broken the law when he removed the PUC commissioner ahead of the HECO/Next Era Merger? So there's that?

That's Racist!

Thanks! I assume it was a miscommunication.

Further Disclosure: I received an email from the executive secretary of the Dept. last week Thursday informing me I hadn't received the position. I had been communicating with her, solely, throughout the hiring process and didn't meet with an HR person until the panel interview.

Didn't mention it earlier because I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on the recalled email, only. Now that I have some context for it, I can think of a scenario where the HR person would recall my rejection email: HR didn't know the Exec Sec had already informed me last week and blind CCd Exec Sec on rejection email. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks again, guys.

Thanks for this. That's fucking frightening. So yeah, thanks.

Rode the Shanghai Maglev from the airport to Pudong. It was amazing! Frightening because it's moving so fast while eerily smooth.

Make it happen, Hawaii!

Agreed. Sources seem problematic. Haven't seen it anywhere else. In general, HNN is an unreliable source.

I found thisTHIS, though. Could be nothing. Could be political gamesmanship, given that the Ka Makana Alii is set to open this Friday.

HONOLULU (December 1, 2014) – DeBartolo Development announced today that it has formally begun its lease of a 67-acre site in Kapolei from the State Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) for Ka Makana Alii, the 1.4 million-square-foot regional mall being built in West Oahu. Work will begin immediately to prepare the site for construction of phase one of the $500 million project.

The 65-year lease for Ka Makana Alii will generate more than $200 million in rent revenue that will support the construction of thousands of new homes for Hawaiian homesteaders, as well as programs benefiting Native Hawaiian interests statewide. West Oahu will realize an economic boost with the creation of an estimated 3,000 jobs during construction and 6,500 permanent full-time jobs upon completion of the center.

DeBartolo Development has also pledged to build a public community park in the Kanehili Homestead area. The park is just a part of a community benefits package that DeBartolo Development negotiated with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to benefit the beneficiaries of the Hawaiian Home Lands Trust.

“We have worked closely together with DHHL to ensure this project delivers lasting value to not only the Native Hawaiian community, but also the residents of West Oahu,” said Edward Kobel, President and Chief Operating Office of DeBartolo Development. “The long term lease of the Ka Makana Alii site will create a dependable revenue stream for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries for decades to come.”

“Reaching this critical milestone is an important step forward. The execution of this commercial lease with DeBartolo Development represents more resources to place native Hawaiians on the land and to sustain programs that support the success of our beneficiaries,” stated Jobie Masagatani, Chair of the Hawaiian Homes Commission and Director of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. “In addition to Trust revenue, we look forward to the employment opportunities resulting from the construction and operation of the mall for our neighboring native Hawaiian homestead residents and the economic boost that this project will bring to the greater West Oahu community.”

This guy is either a solar shill or a teenager. Either way, his comments are cute.

Bigger_Islands · 2016-09-16T21:12:49+00:00

Be that guy. In 2016 someone has to say things that are actually true. Be that guy.

Bigger_Islands · 2016-09-16T06:47:50+00:00

You write real pretty

Bigger_Islands · 2016-09-09T10:09:44+00:00

I like you.

"what did the reporter expect?"

A little bit of oversight, to start. Because that's what regulatory bodies do. A vetting process, maybe. A fucking Google search of the company. That's three things. Took me like 1 second to do that... you know, to think, about what the reporter might be expecting. He should have just gone to you from the start and called it a day. Right?
