The 'best-connected journalist' in Puna.
-- Hawaii Island Journal 

The owner

I was a reporter for close to 17 years at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald until October 2005, when I joined the growing ranks of union leaders now formerly employed by the newspaper. (For more about what's happening at the Tribune-Herald, check out the Hawaii Newspaper Guild web site.) Since then I've been the Hilo unit representative for the Guild, a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger.  Puna has been my family's home since 1993.

A tragedy and a lawsuit

Is this what it takes to get the state to make traffic safety improvements on Route 130? See "Family gets $806K."

If the State DOES improve safety that could be misconstrued as admission of there having been inadequate safety, and that could create even greater liability for the State. So, we need to study it more and look at the wider implications before we take any knee-jerk actions... blah, blah, blah ....

Whaddya think?
When I grow up, could I be a State Transportation Official?
Or, does growing up disqualify me?
