Both Elaine and Sandy deserve a gracious thank you from the town. Not just for their years of service (which has been terrific) but for putting up with the work conditions they have endured for over two years. Thank you both.
Veritas - there is a mechanism in place for states to receive federal funds to support education in communities with military bases. Impact Aid or Title VIII consists of direct educational aid (based on the number of military dependents attending the public school) and contributions to school construction. If effect, military bases 'pay taxes' toward education. Does it mean that these schools are overwhelmed with funding, no, just like schools without bases, they struggle. "The taxpayers of Hawaii have to suck that one up." - is not an accurate statement. Please do some research before you slam our military families as interlopers.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The idea that this thing is going to draw business to the island is such an idiotic thought. More idiotic than the proposed soap opera museum!
