By Nick Sibilla – How people respond to criticism can reveal a lot about their character. Some might try to debate or reason with those they disagree with. Others prefer to ignore critics. City officials in Honolulu take a different approach: They use a bulldozer.
Choon James is a successful real estate broker with over two decades of experience in Hawaii. But the city of Honolulu is seeking to seize property she’s owned for almost a decade to build what she calls a “super-sized” fire station in rural Hauula.
Since January 2010, she has put up signs to protest Honolulu’s use of eminent domain. These signs declare “Eminent Domain Abuse: Who’s Next?” and “YouTube Eminent Domain Abuse—Hawaii.” For more than three years these signs have been up without any incident.
But now the city is showing a callous disregard for Choon’s freedom of speech. Back in May, Honolulu seized two of her eminent domain protest signs. Without her consent, city employees went onto the property and seized and impounded her signs before damaging them. Even worse, the city slapped her with a notice for trespassing, for property she is trying to defend in court.
Seems like Parsons-Bickenoff bought out Caldwell & now running the city…..proof?

The largest cluster of donations from executives at one company, according to reports filed with the state Campaign Spending Commission, are top officers of the Parsons firm – president and chief executive George J. Pierson, global chief operations officer Gregory Kelly, and chief of staff Michael Fisher – each gave the maximum-allowable $4,000 to the Caldwell campaign on September 25, according to campaign files. (The Caldwell campaign incorrectly listed Pierson's first name as Gregory.)
Company director David McAlister gave the same amount on the same day, while other officials and employees donated the same or lesser amounts to Caldwell since then.
Company officials, including director of corporate communications Judith Cooper gave min. $500 also to Caldwell.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell's governance style is nothing to be proud of! Look at this recent angst: https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/25280057/for-f….
Unfortunately, many of us have experienced the same modus operandi from Fire Chief Neves. We are not lost to the fact that he has to push Mayor Caldwell's agenda. This link will further explain the public's great disappointment: https://countrytalkstory.com/?p=647
