The Carroll Cox Show - 08/28/2011
Carroll talks with Lucy Gay and Poka Laenui about KAHEA - the Hawaiian Environmental Alliance, and what is happening on the westside of Oahu.
KAHEA is a community-based organization working to improve the quality of life for Hawaii's people and future generations through the revitalization and protection of Hawaii's unique natural and cultural resources. Lucy is the Director of Waianae Educational Opportunity. Poka, a long-time resident of the westside, and is radio host of the Hawaiian Potpourri show.
Carroll also talks about Governor Neil Abercrombie and the "promises" he made during his campaign. Because of the Laura Thielen/Mark Young DLNR fiasco under Lingle, Carroll asked Abercrombie what he would be doing with DLNR. Abercrombie said he understood the plight of our natural resources and would take quick action to address DLNR's law enforcement issues. To date nothing has been done. DLNR is now chaired by William Aila. Mark Young's position as head of law enforcement is filled temporarily by a worker from Maui, Mr. Randy Awo, who is paid per diem to work on Oahu - a high price when our government is out of money. Things have gone from bad to worse..
