Honolulu mayor says he's responsible for Honolulu’s permitting licensing problems.

from HiFiCo, April 15, 2024

In a town hall meeting last week, the mayor decided to answer a question directed at police chief Logan and claim credit for Honolulu's botched licensing and permitting system (We have a Lawsuit open right now and more on the way)

He claims Hawaii doesn't have a Gun culture, but the fact is more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand people in Honolulu own firearms, and the number is GROWING every year.

With the increase in drug and gang-related attacks, the people that he's meant to represent are scared, and the police department can't protect anyone. When you dial 911, help is minutes away, and that's if you are not put on hold to speak to a dispatcher. So, of course, people want the option to defend themselves.

But you heard what the mayor said. He's responsible for delays and denials. He says he knows the law, but why can't he follow it? The law clearly says the police chief makes the policies, but the mayor says he's pulling those strings.
