January 1, 2017, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Carroll starts the show, and the new year, with a number of topics regarding living in Hawaii, doing the right thing, and getting along with others. Carroll illustrates one of the problems by discussing a big illegal dump near Whitmore Village he reported in 2012. A canyon was filled in, toxic waste buried, and tree waste pushed down the banks of a stream.
Carroll and a witness, with hard evidence, talked with the State of Hawaii, Department of Health and the Attorney General. The state told the witness they would call him back. They never did. A year later Carroll requested a status, and if there was a cleanup plan. Still nothing happened. Carroll just found out the inspector for the DOH was related to the landscaper who dumped waste at the site. Why didn't the inspector declare a conflict of
interest? The outcome of the case, the dumper was fined $26,000. Carroll then discusses how our politicians fit into the problems we are seeing.
The second hour frequent caller Richard Deconte joins the conversation. They discuss obtaining information and getting things done through government officials. They also discuss why the Democratic Party is losing.
Link here to see Carroll's video regarding leachate from refuse trucks leaking onto our streets, and into Keehi Lagoon from the Keehi Transfer Station, where he exposes the illegal discharge and improper treatment of Leachate or wastewater at the city's municipal Solid and Hazardous Waste Transfer Station, it's subsequent coverup, and the State of Hawaii Department of Health's refusal to take enforcement action against the City and County of Honolulu.
