A BILL TO REQUIRE PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL AUDITS OF HAWAIʻI AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORP. goes to Gov. David Ige's desk, after passing the state House of Representatives on Friday. Introduced by west Kaʻū Rep. Richard Creagan, the bill would fund the ADC through June 2021, but in turn require a third-party accounting financial audit and a performance audit.
The ADC, a quasi government agency to support agriculture, was involved with the effort to restore old water tunnels from sugar plantation days to be used for ranching and farming in Kaʻū. However, the effort stalled in the last few years after 12 years of work by the local agriculture community.

Creagan said the audit "will provide for a lot more transparency about what ADC does and going forward what their future relationship with the Agriculture Department should be."

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO called Pres. Donald Trump "amoral," in an email to constituents today. She said he "should not get away with his xenophobic agenda," and that "President Trump's latest actions and behavior regarding immigration continues to give me major concerns. Two things are clear: He doesn't see immigrants as human beings, but as political pawns, and he thinks he does not have to follow the law when it comes to their treatment.

"It was reported last week that the president promised his acting Homeland Security Secretary a pardon if he were to follow Trump's orders and break the law (by turning away refugees seeking asylum, saying the country is full, and ignoring the rulings of immigration judges.) This valueless, heartless behavior towards immigrants is sadly not unexpected from this amoral president."
She asks the public to sign a petition to "oppose Trump's attacks on immigrants."

HAWAIʻI RANKS 19TH IN THE GREENEST STATE ANALYSIS by WalletHub. It ranks 12th in climate change contributions, 13th in eco-friendly behavior, and 27th in environmental quality. The Aloha state ranks as the second lowest consumer of gasoline per capita, after
However, Hawaiʻi rates poorly in having to deal with the most Total Municipal Solid Waste per Capita.
The greenest states are Vermont , New York , Oregon Connecticut , Minnesota , Massachusetts , California , Rhode Island , South Dakota , and New Hampshire . These states tend to recycle more, have less solid waste, use less gas and electricity, use more renewable energy sources, and make sure their air, water, and soil are healthier than states that ranked lower.
WalletHub reports that eco-friendliness and personal finance are related: "Our environmental and financial needs are the same in many areas: providing ourselves with sustainable, clean drinking water and food, for example. We also spend money through our own consumption and taxes in support of environmental security.
"Experts attribute the high number of hurricanes to unusually warm Atlantic waters, so it's possible that living more sustainably and using greener energy sources could prevent us from having quite as bad hurricane seasons in the future. We should all try to do our part to save the world for future generations."
In order to determine the greenest states, WalletHub compared the 50 states using 27 metrics. Environmental Quality is evaluated by weighing Total Municipal Solid Waste per Capita, Air Quality – which measures the average exposure of the general public to particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size – Water Quality, Soil Quality – which measures the difference between the median soil pH level and the optimal soil pH level – and Energy-Efficiency.
Eco-Friendly Behaviors are evaluated from the number of Green Buildings per Capita, Total Capacity of Solar Photovoltaic Systems Installed per Household, Share of Renewable Energy Consumption, Energy Consumption per Capita, Gasoline Consumption per Capita, Daily Water Consumption per Capita, Share of "Smart" Electricity Meters – energy meters with two-way communication technology to provide information to energy providers and consumers about prices, usage patterns, and inefficiencies – Alternative-Fuel Vehicles per Capita, Alternative-Fuel Stations per Capita, Green Transportation – which measures the percentage of the population who walk, bike, carpool, take public transportation, or work from home – Average Commute Time by Car, Share of Recycled Municipal Solid Waste, Certified Organic Farms per Capita, Corporate Clean Energy Procurement Index Score – which factors in how/if companies purchase and use renewable energy utilities – State Renewable Portfolio Standards, States with Electronic Waste Recycling Programs, States with Multifamily Recycling Policies, and Water Efficiency and Conservation & Climate Points.
Climate-Change Contributions are evaluated by scoring Carbon-Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous-Oxide, and Fluorinated Greenhouse-Gas Emissions per Capita.

The Road to Recovery: One Year Later. The epic Kīlauea eruption and caldera collapse of 2018 forever changed Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, and resulted in most of the park closing for 134 days last year due to unsafe, unpredictable and unprecedented eruptive activity at the volcano's summit. Although a hurricane, two tropical storms, and a wildfire added to the intensity of an unforgettable year, park rangers continued to serve the public at locations outside the park, and the Kahuku Unit expanded its hours of operation. Most of the park is now open, but some areas remain closed. Park managers will present a community update about the challenges and successes of 2018, and how staff is working hard to open more areas. Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes' ongoing After Dark in the Park series. Kīlauea Visitor Center 7 p.m.
