AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Big Island Public Safety: Hawaii Police say the triple-homicide manhunt in Puna ended with the arrest of Jacob Daniel Baker, 36, “without incident,” after three killings over about 48 hours; officials say he was “armed and extremely dangerous,” and victims include Robert Shine and John Carse. Immigration & Community Impact: HawaiiNewsNow reports new U.S. green card guidance for “adjustment of status” is pushing some applicants to return home to finish processing, triggering fear and anxiety among families already in Hawaii. Native Hawaiian Governance: OHA’s board rejected spending up to $172,000 for confidential due diligence toward buying KITV-KIKU, citing other priorities, while chair Kaiali‘i Kahele argued for expanding Native Hawaiian voices in a changing media landscape. Local Government & Public Works: Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi says Taiwan officials agreed to tear down the dilapidated Chinatown Cultural Plaza, with demolition targeted for early 2027. State Policy & Health: SBA reminds Hawaii counties of the June 14 deadline for low-interest disaster loans after March storms; separate reporting shows Medicaid radiology and dental payments rising in Lihue and Kahului. Economy & Tourism: DBEDT says April visitor spending hit $1.77B (+4.8%) even as arrivals dipped slightly. Civic Life: Maʻi Movement Hawaiʻi and the State Commission on the Status of Women launch a statewide 2026 period poverty survey. Environment & Land: DLNR invites public input on a Kohala forest protection project covering about 1,200 acres near Puʻu Ahia.
