April 2, 2017, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Carroll and callers talk about the U.S.A., politics, and the so-called "elite". Carroll wonders from whom Trump is "taking back the country" from. Maybe Russia? He also notes the police chief was forced to resign due to an FBI investigation, but an FBI investigation of Trump is no problem. So many things going on in our
government, and so many distractions.
The second hour Carroll talks about Mayor Caldwell's press release saying the city is no longer accepting household combustibles at Waimanalo Gulch Landfill. (Read it here). The new policy also includes bulky waste, and
the public will be re-directed to convenience centers to dispose of their trash. The purpose is to eliminate unnecessary combustibles from the landfill, and direct all burnable items to H-Power. Small household vehicles with waste will be allowed at the landfill, but large household vehicles will be directed to the PVC landfill. Carroll has video taken after the rule's start date showing city tractor trailer trucks from the convenience centers dumping combustibles from the convenience centers
into the landfill. What's going on here?
Carroll also tells us he received information regarding the Salvation Army and Goodwill throwing away most of their donations, or shipping them to other countries for rags. The information indicates they mostly stock their stores with overstock items bought from big box stores. If true, this is very disturbing to those who think their donations are helping.
Carroll returned to the Big Island this week to participate in a helicopter flight over the Big Island Dairy. He took pictures of the effluent pond and a plume appearing in the ocean below the gulch's entry point into the ocean. He also attended a second community meeting regarding the dairy's impact on the community. (Listen
to the meeting here). Also, visit www.friendsofmahaulepu.org for information on the proposed dairy for Kauai.
Carroll's video of part one of the March 14, 2017, community meeting is playing on Carroll's show on Olelo, Channel 54, at 1 p.m. today, and 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. The video includes comments by Bridget Hammerquist, president of Friends of Maha'ulepu, and Brad Duff, manager of the Big Island Dairy. The second part of the video, including
comments by state and county agencies, and the community's questions and comments to Brad Duff, will play next month.
