Thank you for speaking out about this issue and providing baxkground information. Lack of enforcement by state officials is a ruining theme in Hawaii. Is this out of laziness, avoidance of conflict or fear of offending someone with influence? Is this from Asian culture (the nail that sticks out gets hammered down) or the Big 5 plantation oligarchy days? 

Whatever the reason, it is breeding rampant waste, corruption and cynicism. Only when problems can no longer be swept under the rug is action taken - often due to external pressure coming from journalists or out of state officials, as in this case.  

Shouldn't  we change this? How could we? Why can't state officials just do their job and enforce the law?
