Carroll talks about government, the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and the lack of ethics enforcement. It's all about who you know. Hawaii State Senator Laura Thielen, prior Chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, was reported to have said, in December 18, 2014, article in the Hawaiian Report; "Power corrupts and absolute power
corrupts absolutely." The people now in office learned from Abercrombie's devious tactics, and they are continuing his policies and practices. Take, for example, the nomination of Castle and
Cooke lobbyist Carleton Ching as Chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources. He will have the final say over all parts of Hawaii, the land, the water, and the people. The fix is on. Carroll explains relationships between people and companies connected to Ching and DLNR. He also notes several of the major divisions of DLNR still have "acting" directors.
The second hour Carroll talks with Joshua Noga and Tim Vanderveer of Defend Oahu Coalition and No Ko'olau Loa, about Keep the Country Country. The previous expansion of Laie without the promised affordable housing has been a major concern. Now housing is being proposed by the big corporations along with additional commercial
development on state agricultural land in Malaekahana. This area is not the place for such development. Callers join in with some great comments.
