Home

From: Hawaii County, HI <noreply@hawaiicounty.gov> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2025 11:18 AM To: Darrow,Jeff<Jeff.Darrow@hawaiicounty.gov> Subject: SPACE Message submitted from the <Hawaii County, HI>website. Site Visitor Name: Kathy Flynn Site Visitor Email: Punaflynn(clyahoo.com I just received word from a neighbor that Daryn Arai informed her after a long conversation that he was in favor of the SPACE permit going through because he really likes Corey, Morgan and SPACE..He had to disclose it AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION.The country sent a letter out, telling us to go to Daryn with any concerns to be addressed. He told me he was a representative for us, and understood all of our concerns, and he would address them for us because we are afraid of retaliation. I am blown away by the deceptive conversations we have had with him (both my husband and 1)We were under the impression that he was working for the county and was not siding with anyone, being a representative who understood our concerns ...now but now I feel betrayed. He told Cory and Morgan everything that we said, and he told me that we would re-remain anonymous. Is he working for the county? He never disclosed his advocacy to us. Does the county check to see who is enrolled for the school year? I know kindergarten students that are already physically attending. Legally? I suspect they jumped the gun and assume they Can get away with it.They've gotten away with several Events that are not in their current permit.There doesn't seem to be any one overseeing or any consequences when they break the rules. It is obvious that now recriminations against us and others will now ensue. Daryn disclosed our names to Morgan and Corey... I have a concerned Citizen letter being turned into the County.We wanted to remain anonymous and we made that clear with Daryn when we spoke to him.
