          GRAVEL GATE

          Road and Highway Builders, LLC, has a contract to fix the roads on Oahu over the next few years, but will they do a good job?   As demonstrated by their recent activity, the answer may be "NO".

          Road and Highway Builders imports and stockpiles tons of gravel through the harbor at Barber's Point.   Sources reporting to us allege that they are overloading their trucks, then bypassing the state weigh station by sneaking through locked gates on property leased from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.   To do so, they are subleasing from a company named Pasha Commercial Storage that has a lease with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.   It is reported  Road and Highway Builders, and other trucking companies, were given keys to the gate by Pasha and permission to use the road.  

          When heavy trucks travel across the island, they cause stress to the pavement on our roadways. One of the reasons we have so many bad roads is overloaded trucks that have been allowed to bypass the weigh station by taking advantage of the opportunity to travel through this gate that is located on DHHL land.

          Not only that, the trucks are unsafe and may cause major accidents.  

          Today Carroll lays out the facts about corruption  and the people, agencies, companies and politicians involved.

          MORE INFORMATION:

          Last week Carroll discussed problems with permits for material stored by Pasha and Road and Highway Builder's  (see attached document).   This document also provides links to the following television news stories:    A)  On 8/13 KITV  ran a glowing story about Mayor Caldwell and the Road and Highway Builders, LLC's  contract.     B)   In June, KHON ran two stories about the bad work being done by Road and Highway Builders, LLC.  

          Link here to more of Carroll's comments and pictures about this story.


          The second hour Carroll talks with Marsha Joyner about the Democratic Party of Hawaii, civil rights issues, and actions taken by Senator Mike Gabbard and Representative Sharon Har on the subject of gay marriage.   See what the investigative report concludes about this matter in the attached  "Report of the Investigative Committee in the matter of complaint by Party Member Michael Goljuch".
