Kauai County officials on Friday publicly disclosed for the first time details of the disciplinary action taken against Police Chief Todd Raybuck for violating a county discrimination policy.

Kauai Police Chief Todd Raybuck spent the last two years building community goodwill and fixing problems within his department.

Kauai County Councilwoman Felicia Cowden says a Board of Ethics complaint against her is politically motivated.

Chief Todd Raybuck has done a good job by most accounts and some local leaders say losing him would be a setback for the island. But others including the police union see it differently.

When the pandemic hit, the start-up ditched its hospitality-focused components and zeroed in on a goal to help Hawaii food entrepreneurs reach a larger audience.

The state’s agriculture park program was set up with the agriculture economy, not local food, in mind. But one nonprofit is flipping that around.

The report says that “tourism needs to be managed responsibly so that the residents and destination may thrive.”

The Legislature’s attempt to shut down the island’s extra COVID-19 precautions seems like a power play.

Relocations to Kauai from the mainland have become so common that it’s hard to drive more than a few miles on the island without seeing multiple out-of-state license plates.
