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.

Aloha,
I think the Puna CDP as it was displayed yesterday in Keaau was a good starting point for Puna when a gallon of gasoline was .99cents a gallon.

Today Puna is so far behind in infrastructure (roads, neighborhood- shops; classrooms; health and safety fundamental services for example that it would make sense to -change the open building permit policy.



Aloha
