‘This DEIS Is Deficient’: Sierra Club, Maui Tomorrow, and others weigh in on A&B/Mahi Pono’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement for a 30-year water lease

November 13, 2019 by Deborah Caulfield Rybak Leave a Comment

The public comment period for Mahi Pono/Alexander & Baldwin’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) closed last week, and judging from the dozens of pages of responses I’ve read, this DEIS has more holes in it than bleached coral. Those stalwart folks who actually pored through the 2,700-page tome seemed to find scant substance and lots […]

‘An Overworked Brothel’ – Maui County Council discusses visitor impacts to our environment and infrastructure

June 19, 2019 by Axel Beers 3 Comments

It’s easy to make fun of tourists, but it’s a lot harder to criticize the tourism industry. Tourists drive at a crawl over the Pali, rubbernecking at whales, while 10 cars tail them. Tourists crowd beaches and trails, then tell you to get out of “their” sunset. Tourists poke you with their selfie sticks as […]

Councilmembers’ Day Off: Majority of voting members absent for Infrastructure and Environmental Management Committee meeting

September 19, 2018 by Axel Beers 2 Comments

The Infrastructure and Environmental Management Committee meeting on Monday, Sept. 17, began with a lecture. “I’ve had numerous meetings that we could not deliberate and do the work of this community due to lack of quorum,” Committee Chair Elle Cochran announced after taking roll and marking Councilmembers Don Guzman, Riki Hokama, and Mike White with […]

Maui community groups say they succeeded in reducing environmental, cultural impacts of Makena Resort development

July 11, 2017 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

For too long, the future of Mākena has been a giant unknown for Maui. The threat of development has loomed large, and the Maui Planning Commission’s vote in March to accept a “No Significant Impact” finding on ATC Makena Holdings’ plans for the South Maui region scared a lot of people. So much so that […]

This is how Maui County voters compared to rest of Hawaii in 2016 presidential election

November 18, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro 14 Comments

Yeah, yeah, I know the election’s over and Donald Trump won and we should all just stop crying into our kombucha and get over it so our new overlord and his white nationalist minions can have their safe space free of non-whites, women, Muslims, immigrants, journalists and anyone who ever saw Raiders of the Lost […]

Using newly declassified documents, we examine the legacy of Elmer Cravalho, Maui County’s most important political leader.

October 12, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Elmer Cravalho was a rare individual who made a mark on both Maui and Hawaii history. A man of considerable intelligence and energy, he wielded tremendous power on state and county stages for 25 years. But in the days following his death on June 27 at the age of 90, the obituaries for Cravalho that appeared in […]

20 questions answered about the new Maui County Manager proposal

November 11, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 2 Comments

There’s been a lot of talk recently about making some radical changes to the County of Maui’s system of government. Specifically–reducing the elected mayor’s powers (or eliminating the position entirely) in favor of hiring a professional “County Manager.” Because much of the talk about such a change has been both arcane and emotional, and because […]

UPDATED: Federal Judge Strikes Down Maui County GMO Moratorium

June 30, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Civil Beat in Honolulu is reporting that federal Judge Susan Mollway has struck down Maui County’s controversial anti-GMO ballot measure, saying simply that because state and federal law preempts it, the bill is “invalid and unenforceable.” “The court recognizes the importance of questions about whether GE activities and GMOs pose risks to human health, the environment, […]

UPDATED: Breaking Down The Maui County GMO Initiative Votes

November 6, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 11 Comments

[Ed. Note: After we published this post, Dick Mayer said he’d made an error by including blank votes in the Percent Yes calculations. We’ve updated the post to include his revised, and simplified, numbers.] Dick Mayer likes numbers. “They’re fun for me to look at,” he told me. Mayer’s a former UH Maui College economics professor […]

Thursday, July 10 was the deadline for Hawaii candidates running in the August Primary Election to get their first campaign finance disclosure forms over to the state Campaign Spending Commission. According to the filings, which cover Jan. 1 through June 30 of this year, there is a little more than $359,000 in the collective coffers of […]

Will The County of Maui Overreach As It Tries To Regulate Downhill Bike Tours?

May 29, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

West Maui Cycles in Lahaina is like a lot of bike shops. It’s relatively small, offers a nice selection of road and mountain bikes for sale and has a maintenance and repair shop. It also rents bikes–even offers maps so visitors can find a few local sites and, more importantly, not get lost. “I do […]

Hot Maui Primary Election Action!

August 10, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Time to vote, folks! Hard to believe that Saturday–THIS SATURDAY–is the Hawaii state Primary Election. Finally, after months of political ads clogging our radio and television airwaves, we get to find out who wins the big popularity contest we call Democracy. Well, half-wins–this is just a Primary, so we’ll meet back here in November and […]

Share Water, Wastewater

January 27, 2010 by Anuhea Yagi Leave a Comment

A potluck picnic lunch in Spreckelsville sure sounds nice, huh? More than the makings for a swell Saturday, it’s the starts of the Sierra Club’s annual meeting. Add to the fellowship a noontime panel discussion themed “Sharing the Water,” and a feel-good awards ceremony for three of Maui’s do-gooders, and you’re afternoon is set.
