 Kauai county should consider congestion pricing as a way to battle the traffic situation here on the cosmic Garden island.

Congestion pricing is a fee charged to drivers for the privilege to drive during heavy traffic to help alleviate the situation.  Since 2003 drivers in London have paid a daily rate of about $16 to access the heart of the city from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m on weekdays.  Many US cities with traffic gridlock are thinking of implementing this process including Honolulu.

Before this could be implemented the county bus would need to be ready for an influx of many more passengers. This would be great tax revenue for the county and get motor vehicles off the roads.

Bumper to bumper traffic by the roundabout
in Kapa'a, known at the Kapa'a crawl.

 Also, every car rental could be accessed the $16.00 fee or whatever fee determined by our representatives.  In the long run, it would get cars off the roads, people using mass transit and more tax dollars for the many problems facing our community  I believe it's something our county council and new mayor should look into.

Support Border Wall to keep America safe

Acosta will never live it down...It’s the gift that keeps on giving

It's beyond belief that the U.S. government is partially

shut down because Congressional Democrats will not allocate 5 billion dollars to construct a barrier wall on the southern border. This comes as a shock to Israelis who are protected from daily terror acts behind a barrier. The opposition to the wall is not about anything else but obstructing Trump and keeping him from keeping American safe.

How can anyone dispute a border wall? It’s like disputing locking the doors to your home, fencing your yard or property, or locking your vehicle while shopping.

The irony, so many politicians and Hollywood elite types with fenced yards and security guards in front of their mansions are the ones most opposed to a wall.


 Hawaii can spend 8 billion on a rail that is 25 miles long but the whole United States cant spend 5 billion on border security.

America first!

Hana Hou, (Encore)

Sign the petition to remove Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib!
 So far 110,000 signatures and counting!
Do to Rashida Tlaib actions and profanity,
she is unfit to be a congresswoman.
Her rude display and lack of respect for our sitting President
  was uncalled for. Her immediate removal from her seat
is just and warranted. Due to her hatred towards our president,
 I feel she is a national security threat.
