I have heard comments about giving H.I.H.S. a time to correct their problems. Complaints are not new, just ignored, and their own records have established the fact that they are unable to handle the whole island efficiently. There was another ad in West Hawaii Today for an accountant. This makes 6 positions open in West Hawaii since September 23rd. The last quarterly report due October 31St still hasn't been received. Their senior management officer is also a 20 year employee that is supposed to have had training?? What happened?? West Hawaii has many reasons to be upset, virtually no animal control, shover hours etc. Shifting employees to West Hawaii to cover is not efficient, the travel time prohibitive and hotel costs mount up if they stay over and they don't know the area. I'm asking everyone to please review the past complaints while considering solutions. Mr. Flynn has told me he will only listen to certain things and doesn't want to hear about the past. We have arrived at this point because of the past and it needs to be acknowledged. It's difficult to have someone in his position tell you they are not going to listen! It seems whenever we talk he yells at me, the last time I was yelled at this much by a big Irishman I divorced him, guess this isn't possible in this situation so I guess we'll have to go to counseling!! I'll promise not to be repetitive in trying to make a point if he promises to listen with an open mind and take our problems seriously. I was also told that someone commented that they would like to see 8 other people next time. Every cause or problem has its champions that represent others who cannot attend. I can make copies of the last petition, about 300 signatures if you wish I can also go back and make copies of the petition from over 3 years ago. West Hawaii has spoken up and in the past no one listened! This situation is not about being right, it is about doing what is right for the whole community.
