Maui County

The Maui 10

Who's the county's most powerful player?

July 06, 2006
Big week for super-developer Everett Dowling and his company. On June 27, the Maui Planning Commission voted 5-2 to approve his plan to build 71 super-condos for the super-rich at Makena (reported asking price: $3 million each). This was despite a revelation last year that the archaeological survey of his property Dowling initially told state and local planning officials to rely on was woefully deficient of ancient Hawaiian sites. But Dowling's a smart guy—he contracted for a new site with the knowledge that he'd still win in the end. Oh, and Carlyle Group-owned Hawaiian Telcom drops to the bottom on news that five customers just sued the company in U.S. District Court in Honolulu for alleging allowing the National Security Agency to monitor phone calls—a charge the company denies.
