December 3, 2017, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Carroll talks
with callers from North Carolina about how poor the bus service is in
their particular area, causing people to miss appointments and work. Some have even
lost their jobs. The caller says the reason is, the community is
low-income and is being ignored by the government. Hawaii is not the only one
with problems.

The second hour Carroll brings us up to date on the fishing vessel, Pacific Paradise, still stuck on the reef
off Waikiki. He also talks about Suzanne Case and the
Department of Land and Natural Resources' proposal to get rid of cats at
the state's harbors.
Yes, cats in
the wild propose a risk to native species, and something needs to be done. But,
inhumane treatment, particularly DLNR's proposal to kill cats, is not the
solution. How the cats get into the wild is a big part of the problem.
People are constantly dumping their unwanted cats at
established colonies, so the cats' caretakers have a big job trapping, neutering,
returning and managing them (TNRM program).
Apparently, DLNR's so far unapproved proposal to remove cats from the harbor, including killing them, has led to park personnel removing the cats' water bowls and feeders
from Sand Island Park. The park personnel claim they cause mosquitoes and rats.
But, just maybe, it is the big piles of trash and tree
waste causing rats and mosquitoes! There is no sign saying it is
illegal to feed the cats, but there is a sign saying "no smoking" in
the park. Yet, even the park manager has been seen smoking. Check that one out.
A caller notes "fixed" cats are doing more good than harm and discusses the issues.
STILL THERE! Will it move today? Who will pay?
