Skateparks and dog parks open tomorrow. Parks have been open but no sports until tomorrow maximum of 10 people per court.
Kapolei skatepark remains closed because of park expansion. Gonna get a plaza and lights. We were worried if the pandemic would affect the parks expansion. Glad it didn’t.

Put in some Russian air defense systems. PM me and I'll see about making some connections.
Another interesting blog post from Ian Lind. Interesting to see who the major lobbyists listed in the most recent (December 31, 2019) lobbyist disclosure list. Unite Here Local 5, mentioned above, is number 16 on the list.
Next Monday (June 1) is the 'new' deadline for lobbyist disclosures
Governor David Ige's adinistration and the Hawaii State Legislature have been considering exactly how to restart and redirect Hawaii's economic recovery. Whatever decisions are made, there are likely to be winners and losers. Do you suppose Hawaii's professional lobbyists have been standing down...

I beg to differ my friend. You've never head the Bullnutts Brew!if you can drink it by the pot, it's not strong enough
"Travel Bubble" wherein Hawaii would allow Japanese or OZ or NZ travelers to come without quarantine before other US citizens from parts of the US with similar Covid numbers? I'm thinking that gets a beatdown in court.
What Hawaii needs is not a return to 10 million visitors a year spending USD $50 per day, but 5 million (or less) visitors spending USD $100 per day. Significant reduction in negative visitor impact and equal amount of money spent.
LIGHTS!!!!!....thats kikass!!!.
..i havent brought my skateboard to oahu in years because the parks were always so stinkin HOT during the daytime and hickam was open at night...skateboard!
The Constitution protects interstate travel for US citizens. But
I reread post it says security lighting. Not sure what that entails.

When the Travel Bubble breaks I will be bringing my Canfield one to ride the Pupukea Paumalu trails again

This..
People can come but they are gonna get quarantined for 14 days and policed by the "posse" until the increasing spread gets under control on the mainland
Hawaii doesn't want that spread to move from the mainland to Hawaii and force a second shutdown which they will do if the numbers get to like 50 new cases a day.
They shutdown on 24 a day.
Plus most everyone here wants tougher policing and punishing of violators who flaunt the destruction of everyone's livelihood here.
At this point there's no mercy left among the locals for people who display disregard for the health of this community by a self centered returnng local or visitor. Due to mass unemployment the old "aloha" for that is long gone and replaced with a "posse" mentality
Just look what's happening on the mainland.
When the dam holding back decades of frustration breaks, it breaks
And the whole "it's my right to kill you" argument just ain't gonna fly here anymore when it comes to covid spread
Tourists are funny. Many of us on this bb live in tourist destinations, and our local economies depend on tourism, maybe a lot. So as much as we hate 'em, we need 'em. And to be honest, the majority of tourists aren't bad. They are just enjoying our places and mostly being respectful and staying out of everybody's way the best they can. We're all toursts from time to time, after all.
But some tourists act like entitled assholes. This went on before Corona but now asshole-ish behavior has a new element of danger. No masks, no obeying the rules, acting like they are on vacation from the virus, and so on. Business owners who depend on tourists and who don't enforce safety because they are afraid to alienate their customers add gasoline to the anti-tourist fire. And it's not just the beach areas, it's everywhere. link
IDK if there's any easy solution. Hawaii is kind of lucky, they can control the tourist flow and add some level of social intimidation, to a certain extent.

I understand the economic reasoning behind the initiative by your State Senators. I also understand the desire to not have a raging shitshow of NYC proportions land on your islands. Also understand the desire to improve your quality of life via fewer and better tourists that aren't cheap selfie douchebags.
But, the courts will likely not stand for a policy that allows foreigners to enter without a quarantine while US citizens do have to go through a quarantine. Especially if the US citizens are from areas that have comparable covid numbers to Japan.
I'm guessing there is a way to allow healthy US citizens to travel there and still enforce reasonable standards for conduct while they are there. If it takes a posse mentality to "help" people get a clue in the short run,then so be it.
I get the sense those same people act like entitled assholes when they are in their "home city" as well.
There are plenty of tests that can be used to end the 14 day quarantine. I've never witnessed a more inept Governor. The press briefings leave you more confused that before. Just dragging ass without a good plan to put people back to work in the tourism industry.
