The Lingle administration campaigned on a pledge to cut the waiting list for leases at the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.But the plan has turned out to be a back-door land grab by commercial and development interests.Governor Lingle has proceeded by cutting funding for the agency and forcing DHHL to rely on income from commercial leases, most of those to non-Hawaiians.See Details Here
This has been happening on Sand Island for years. Sometimes I wonder why few people mention it but since Ariyoshi days the Democrats (though some Republicans do this kine shady stuff too) have been suffocating Sand Island for commercial use to their family and friends so this latest news does not surprise me.
FWIW I am very upset at Micah Kane for allowing this B.S. to happen to some of his OWN cousins. Aue.
Thats what they were attempting to do at Wailua, Kauai. To develop a resort makai of the highway to help fund the homestead development mauka. I don't know where the project stands at this point in time?
When has DHHL received monies for commercial leases? How about we take away the blood quantum and have leases issued to kanaka maoli within one year of the application submitted!
