Testimony regarding EMC Agenda: Naalehu/Pahala LCC closure update
June 2022 EMC Meeting
Dear Environmental Management Commission Chair and Commissioners:
Today, people will find red tape where Tony Bennet left his heart – San
Francisco. That’s where little cable cars ride past the EPA’s Region 9 office. The
red tape for wastewater regulations stretches all the way from Hawthorne St. to
the county building in Hilo. This red tapeworm eats up federal and county tax
dollars.
Please consider that government employees get to collect salaries. Then they
dither and dawdle over Hawaii County’s illegal gang-cesspools in Pahala and
Naalehu. This dalliance only benefits the bureaucrats. They get a paycheck every
month, while no infrastructure has been constructed in Ka’u. Their final goal is
retirement. Their method is environmental procrastination. They have
succeeded for the past 20 years.
Sadly, its us citizens who left our wallets in both cities by the bay.
Jerry Warren
