  • @TripleNpple
    The classic blame the other guy not me. He aint moved on it or going to thr capital to plea for help.
  • Green is too busy throwing a fund raiser party for Biden - did you hear about that???
  • Why is Maui County not being held to account for their SHAMEFUL STONEWALLING regarding the Release of the ATF's Investigative Report into the Cause and Origin of the Lahaina Wind/Firestorm Disaster????? And WHY on earth was the report sent to County of Maui Dept of Fire and Safety for review prior to its release to the Public???? I thought the whole point of the ATF report was to ensure an impartial investigation was carried out. Its hardly impartial, if they are running it by the MFD first, to make sure they have all their ducks in a row. Complete honesty, and Transparency is a MUST when more than 102 human beings have been horrifically cremated, more than 2,200 Structures and an entire Community have been obliterated and thousands have been displaced and are no doubt traumatized for life!
  • while HECO and Maui County, are paying out money, they should come up with some type of agreement about what they will do next time when power poles and lines fall on evacuation routes! will they be restoring power and reinstalling power poles in the middle of an 80 mph wind storm on one of the towns one and only Escape Routes out? will the police chief Pelletier be required to retake training in how to manage traffic in the middle of an emergency so he can learn how to contra flow Roads, will Maui officials actually ever tell the public if they will ever actually sound the sirens in the event of another fire? will police chief Pelletier be required to be in the Emergency Operating Center next time working with other department heads who will also be required to be there? Have they decided yet, who will actually be in charge of the next emergency and how will they figure out if they should fully activate the EOC? will police officers be required to have Desperately needed training in traffic Control? how will Maui County officials figure out if the power is on or if the power is off and when they find out what will be their method of communication to their workforce, since they have none at the present time ??? that's a difficult one! So, now with all that money spent out, and all the unnecessary death and destruction, how will all these people and entities responsible for Public Safety be able to prevent this from happening again and not repeat their same failed emergency responses? Who knows? pretty much, the same inept incompetent officials run the show with, I am sure, the same repetitive Patterns of Behavior that instead of protecting people's lives in an emergency, they endanger them. the Public in Lahaina and Maui should be vigilant and prepared for emergences and not count, on officials to Protect on save their lives. The past and past actions tell the truth of that.
