Last update: 12 hours agoKauhale Oversight: Hawaii senators plan a November briefing with homelessness officials, builder HomeAid Hawaiʻi and the state auditor after an audit flagged more than $13.7 million in payments as unauthorized, unsupported or questionable. Lawmakers want tighter controls, not a halt to construction. OHA Race: Kalei Akaka and cultural adviser Hinaleimoana Wong are competing for Oʻahu’s trustee seat. Both support residential development at Kakaʻako Makai; OHA also seeks a larger role in talks over military leases in Mākua and Kahuku, due to expire in 2029. Election Administration: Recent tied primaries exposed gaps in ballot curing and tie-breaking rules, while a new federal case charges a Kauaʻi resident with illegally voting in 2024. Such cases remain rare, and research has found no evidence they sway elections. Police Accountability: Federal and local investigations involving Maui police have renewed calls for oversight and transparency, including before the department adopts more surveillance technology.
