W...Paul Harvey was a lying turd, not a journalist.<br /><br />Why not also ask JoA Yukimura why we can't use her "resource center" that was so badly thought out and designed it's barely useful for anything???<br /><br />And thank FSM you're not going on and on about shipping trash off island instead of landfilling here. I guess Oahu's great flop finally caused the scales to drop off your eyes.Blahblahblahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555036430493979079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-86018738765248442232011-11-03T18:45:35.504-10:002011-11-03T18:45:35.504-10:00Very interesting.

I think this is what we have here. <br /><br />But don't be too hard on your journalistic buddy. As you know, small newspapers have a challenge filling positions with seasoned reporters and editors to help them. Garden Island and Maui News are perfect examples.<br /><br />It's too easy to sit back and criticize what comes out of the small local media.<br /><br />Lucky for us, you've added a lot of context the rest of us need to know about what's going on on your particular rock. It's why you're linked on the blogroll for All Hawaii News. Thank you for that!<br /><br />:)<br />NAll Hawaii Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159919662973788050noreply@blogger.com
