Too fast
Too fast
Now the speed limit will be 60 mph on the new Saddle Road? I don’t think so.
What you people thinking? We want everyone to drive with care, not get killed on the highway.
Ms. Lorraine Inouye, I hope you know what you are doing. We already have a speed problem on that highway. Now, people will be driving 70 mph. I’ve seen this happen. Well, I guess you don’t care. I hope they won’t have more people hurt.
You people have no head.

Treated badly
Recently, I went to my Veterans Affairs appointment on Oahu. Just prior to boarding, I observed several passengers entering through the ticket counter. Two lady agents hurried them on, so as not to stand in line behind 40 or 50 students from Japan in Zone 3.
When my time came to board (I was the last passenger), the agents made me walk around the barriers of Zone 3. I questioned them, and one replied in an unprofessional tone, “You can walk.”
I was in awe. I have never been treated like this before. Where’s the aloha? Hawaiian Airlines employees, shame on you! You should know, I’ve had double hip replacement and am a veteran, too!

Strike three
Way to go, Mayor Billy Kenoi. First, you abuse your pCard (meaning you tried to rip off the taxpayers so you could go to bars and buy surfboards).
Second, you strongly support sticking all taxpayers in Hawaii County with a new half-percent GET (meaning the poor and retired will get even poorer).
And now (Tribune-Herald, April 24), you seem to have stiffed one of Hawaii’s largest charities.
That’s three strikes. In baseball, you’d be OUT. The same should apply to politics and politicians — especially when they are also attorneys.

Better access, please
Ten million dollars was added to the parks budget. Wow!
Does this mean the disabled residents and tourists of East Hawaii will finally have real access to the ocean at Richardson Ocean Park?
We all know the walkway there is too narrow and has many huge ruts and rocks jutting out of the ground. Many individuals who rely on crutches, a wheelchair, a walker, a scooter or even a cane find it impossible to efficiently and safely get down to the water to enjoy a day with family and friends.
My understanding is that a project to provide this access has been in planning stages since 1999. HELP! Let’s not wait anymore. Living in Hawaii is having access to the ocean.
