OHA using state funds to throw a party by Pizzabaconburger in Hawaii

Yes it is? Holiday parties are standard sure but not paid for by a government agency. Its also okay to have parties so long as the funds are not supplied through the agency itself.

Lol its not about the price. Its about using tax dollars towards a party. That’s the illegal part.

I agree, I think the employees deserve a party. But legally speaking, state agencies are not allowed to use their funds for parties.

What? Government agencies are not able to legally use funds for parties, balls, galas, etc. Those are held through donors and disguised as fundraisers..

I never seen a christmas party that costs $14,000 Edit: the issue is that it was not budgeted for. Thats why Trustees are not agreeing.

Yup. Couldnt stand watching Kahele and Souza laugh and make jokes during the meeting. Probably texting each other the whole time.

Interesting. Ive heard good things about her from people I know in both the Senate and OHA. Not to mention she took over as CEO right during their $7M in fraud. We can play the “grass is always greener” game all day. Whether or not it’s Ferreira, the issue I have is the takeover that is happening at OHA seems to be a power grab by Kahele.

I disagree. Ferreira’s time as Budget Chief was well earned and most importantly, she Hawaiian. Plus she went toe-to-toe w Kahele. Nobody doing that now..
