Disappeared News

Speaking of corrupt, lazy and incompetent local officials, here’s a suggestion: We can’t get rid of bulky refuse right now. City won’t pick it up, won’t let you leave anything but burnable items at its so-called “convenience centers.” The island’s only dump is closed because it rained real hard and washed needles onto beaches. (What are needles doing in a landfill anyway???) (Like heavy rain is something unusual in Hawaii???)

Here’s my suggestion: Find out Mufi Hannemann’s home address. Tell everybody to haul their bulky rubbish there. Dump it. This clown got rich (see train contracts) being mayor for years while solving none of the city’s major problems. He deserves your opala. And worse
 

I hate to say it, but those are the most constructive suggestions I've heard so far. The rest I don't think can appear on a nice, family-oriented blog like this.
 

Another article, Good Reason to Avoid the Ocean by Ron Mizutani in MidWeek on the medical waste that found its way into our beautiful ocean.

Medical waste often contains radioactive contaminants. Is someone testing the waste? I'm hoping for a big investigation.

This is a horrible incident which proves alot more toxins than we imagine are being dumped, then migrating into the sea with every rain - this just happened to be a huge rain thus exposing a very important toxic mess that must be addressed.
 

Waste Management is a known hazardous waste dumper. They've racked up hundreds of millions of dollars in fines for their illegal disposal methods. Here's an article where they dumped hazardous bio-waste (just like here) in Virginia: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-54513962.html
 

Wast Management just like for-profit prisons are a prime example of how privatization of government services works. In order to do the job cheaper than a government run operation you pay minimum wages and you don't comply with set regulations. And if you are found not to comply with set regulations you just keep on doing business as usual as if nothing happened.
