New Restrictions on Hawaii Seafood Industry

Campaign Signs Frustrate Some Residents
You have no doubt seen all those campaign signs set up in strategic corners of neighborhoods across the state. Many are plastered on chain-link fence fronting someone’s front yard.
If you assume the property owner approved those political signs, you might be wrong. Not all candidates and their campaign workers ask permission to post signs.

More ADU’s Approved for Kaneohe
Sewage capacity has been a limiting factor for homes applying for ADU’s or accessory dwelling units on Oahu. That was certainly the case in the Kaneohe region where 160 people who applied were rejected. But the city says now that upgrades to the Kaneohe Tunnel project is complete, it is encouraging those folks to reapply.
