"The Mayor and Police Chief are both good men..!"‏ 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

Miracles can happen!  Happy Holidays...! 

check out my opinion article in the 12-26-12 edition of the Kaua'i Garden Island news, " A Christmas Miracle."

Kaua'i has two things going for it, one we have an outstanding mayor and two an incredible chief of police. They are both dedicated public servants whose lives evolve around their jobs. However their bickering needs to stop.

The Mayor on Feb. 1, 2012 suspended Police Chief Darryl Perry, and placed him on paid administration  leave. The Police Commission ordered Perry back on the job Feb. 22, however the mayor objected per the county attorney and did  not re-instate him until March 12.

This is  all about whether the Mayor or police commission  has the authority to suspend or terminate the Chief of police? 

The mayor is  elected by the  people,  the police commissioners are appointed citizens by the mayor on volunteer duty.

Mayor Carvalho said he spoke with the police commissioners when the incident  happened last February,  they agreed to take the matter to court and to stand by judge’s verdict.  They had their day in court and the verdict  was decided  in the mayors favor, however the police commission is appealing and not living by their words.

Mr. Mayor and Chief Perry, show some true Aloha and give the residents of Kaua'i a truly pono Christmas gift they will long remember? Please  settle your differences without  expensive attorneys at taxpayer expense. 

 In closing I would like to quote the good book, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone.  (John 8:7)

Miracles can happen!

Happy Holidays,
