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.

"It's the official end to Enron-style business arrangement between Wheelabrator Corp. and 29 towns in the Connecticut River Valley," Gallagher said. "Claremonters and townspeople were overcharged millions of dollars. This ends a tragedy."
