Rory Flynn, a former legislative auditor for the County of Hawaii, had a letter to the editor in WHT in response to Henry Scroggin's letter on April 10,2006.
Mr. Flynn why are you trying to defend the Democrats ? Thats what it appeared you tried to do by posting all the funded projects this year for the Big Island in your letter to the editor.Yes the State is finally addressing the infrastructure woes in West Hawaii (and the Big Island).
But where is the county ? In the past 6 years the county built two new roads in Hilo, Puainako Extension and Mohouli Street Extension.But in Kona no new roads have been built by the county. In short the both the state and county acted with malfeasance in approving all these developments in Kona without adequate infrastructure.
I've lived here my entire life, and seen how both the county and state put the needs of developers over the citizens of this island.That practice needs to stop now.

I think West Hawaii printed an article about how they are beginning to address the lax enforcement of standards in building and on developers and how two city councilmembers did not vote in favor of a motion to allow it until more questions were answered. I just briefly glanced at the article but it is encouraging.
