According to Andrew Cooper’s A Darker View blog, the DPW is doing additional resurfacing work between PTA and the Kilohana Girl Scout camp. Thus it seems that they’ll end up stopping at m.m 44. Especially since they only planned to work during the month of August.
It is totally amazing that former State Representative/Councilwoman Virginia Isbell still hasn’t filed her campaign spending reports.I tried asking her why recently. But instead she blew me off and asked why I e-mailed her so early in the morning. On top of that she tried to change the subject by asking if I wanted her to send me a paddling manual.
In my view, the latter shows her lack of commitment to run a strong campaign against Rep. Josh Green for the District 3 Senate seat.It is insane that she wants to talk about a paddling when she is supposedly running for office.I hope people keep this mind when they go into the polling booth in the upcoming elections.

I also got word that the HDOT will be requesting on September 19th that the top three bidders for the Queen Kaahumanu Highway Phase II widening project present their best and final bids. The latter process should be completed by the end of 2008. By doing this it will hopefully ease the concerns raised by Kiewit Pacific Company that the winning Goodfellow Brothers bid is inadequate.

Lastly, the HTH had additional coverage on the Thirty Meter Telescope proposed for Mauna Kea.
