Last update: 4 hours ago

Mauna Kea & County Power Shift: Hawaiʻi County Council advanced Bill 158 to create a merit-based county manager, trimming mayoral control (5-4 in committee), while on the Big Island DHHL is weighing Mauna Kea access-road toll proposals and Mauna Kea Stewardship timing was pushed back to Dec. 2029 for the summit takeover. Federal Scrutiny Hits Local Institutions: A U.S. Senate hearing questioned the planned closure of Hilo’s Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, with Sen. Mazie Hirono pressing the Forest Service on maintenance and impacts. Public Safety & Health Policy: Honolulu’s police chief shortlist is down to three finalists, with a union survey showing overwhelming support for Mike Lambert; and Hawaiʻi State DOH is among ESO Innovation Awards winners for using integrated data to improve emergency outcomes. National Politics With Local Ripples: Multiple states, including California and Minnesota, sued the Trump administration over new student-loan limits for healthcare workers, while Minnesota became the first state to ban prediction markets. Other Big Headlines: The Gabbie Gonzalez murder-for-hire case keeps escalating, and the NTSB is probing the UPS Louisville crash after engine-separation footage.
