“Ige remains committed to the TMT and science on the
mountain — an example of strong leadership, said
Cayetano. [Former Governor Ben Cayetano] [Clarification Supplied]
“Ige said he does not reflect much on his past decisions, a
characteristic that some describe as stubborn and others as
evidence that he is satisfied that he made the right
decision. If criticism hurts him inside, he does not show
outwardly that he is bothered by it. [Emphasis Supplied]
“I do hear about it, but, you know, as governor regardless of
what decisions I make, there will be criticism,” he said.
“And it doesn’t really matter. … There will be some who are
happy about it, there will be some who are upset about it.
So, I do know that by definition (being) governor means
criticism. And so you just deal with it.” [Emphasis Supplied]
“Three things,” said Gene Ward, a Republican who is
minority leader emeritus in the state House of
Representatives. “One, if this were a trial, the jury’s still
out. If this were a baby luau, all the potential is yet to be
realized. But if this is politics, the honeymoon is over.
Show me the beef.” [Emphasis Supplied]

“[T]he virtually indistinguishable documents of 2011 and
2013 give the impression that none of the testimonies,
arguments, or evidence submitted to BLNR between the two
were seriously considered. BLNR should not have issued
the permit before the request for a contested case hearing
had been resolved.

Auditor over 1 year previously.

Agencies’ Responses
“The DNLR declined to comment on the Report.
“UH agreed that it must complete the rulemaking process
and seek Board of Regents approval for commercial fees. It
expressed concern about our emphasis on the absence
of rules, and cited the existence of other protections.
[The Hawaii State Constitution, Hawaii Revised Statutes, DNLR and
DEBT Administrative Rules, Master Lease between UH and DNLR
and the Comprehensive Management Plan, “and most importantly
the presence of rangers.” Page 56.] [Clarification Supplied]
“Regarding permit fees for commercial tour activities. UH
stated that in November 2006 the UH President authorized
the UH-Hilo chancellor to issue temporary permits effective
January 2007 and that the law requiring the UH Board of
Regents to set fees in a public meeting was not in effect
until 2009. UH disagreed that it lacks enforcement
authority, contending that its rangers are not able to
control public access. UH also argued that “open
meetings” are not one of the permitted ex parte
communications listed under DNLR’s administrative
rules and therefore such meetings could not have
occurred with the contested case petitioner’s
agreement.”

Governor Ige to The Honolulu Civil Beat,
“I think the people of Hawaii benefit from having choices,” he
told Civil Beat’s Editorial Board. “I worry more about doing good
than looking good. … I feel the voters can figure it out.”
