Maui tax payers helped pay for this - WHY?
August 31, 2011 | 12:15 PM

If grading the road required a $34,520 bond, and according to the county civil engineer Lance Nakamura, that amount only represents just a fraction of the grading costs, who paid the balance of the grading cost? Hmmm - could it be the tax payers of Maui.
If it was the tax payers of Maui County, then it seems to me that the public of Maui have a "right" to use that road because they obviously helped pay for it.
This is so wrong because once again the affluent people who move to Maui are manipulating the County officials.....again.
This behavior of the County changing the rules according to who has money and who does not really has to stop because the people of Kula have been waiting for over 4 decades to get an access road to Kihei......so how did Orpah and her friends get one so quickly and easily if it was all above board and according to the existing rules?
Why are the people of Maui (and especially Kula) are so timid when it comes to standing up for what is rightfully theirs? Why don't they demand to get access to this road which they helped pay for?
