Hawaii County eruption recovery manager faces questions, criticism about plan

HILO, Hawaii (AP) - County of Hawaii officials have questioned and criticized an official about strategies for public recovery from damage caused by Kilauea volcano eruption.

The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Thursday that Diane Ley made a presentation to the County Council Finance Committee Tuesday highlighting interim recovery strategies, priorities, pilot initiatives, and timelines.

Ley is the county research and development director and Kilauea recovery manager.

The Big Island eruption that began in May 2018 destroyed more than 700 homes in Lower Puna.

Even link did not offer much insight regarding Ms. Ley's presentation ideas.

I think leadership should respect Pele, whatever is decided: Don't live on her sacred ground, don't move lava rocks or beach sand around. She is a creative force of the islands that is easily angered. Be sure to share with her mixed drinks with gin and sweet juices and also packs of Winstons. Like any girl, she likes flowers and mahi mahi. Unfortunately, tossing her a few juicy mortal mouthfuls (the one's I'd pitch in) is likely to infuriate her delicate digestion and mood. May the spirit of aloha bring you to the right decisions!
