(Feb. 18, 2010) — The credibility of Janice S. Okubo, Communications Director of the Hawaii Department of Health, is in question this morning, as The Post & Email discloses documents showing that she gave patently false information in response to a freedom of information request made in accord with Hawaii’s Uniform Information Practices Act.
That Act states in , Section §92F-2 “Purposes:; rules of construction:”
In a democracy, the people are vested with the ultimate decision-making power. Government agencies exist to aid the people in the formation and conduct of public policy. Opening up the government processes to public scrutiny and participation is the only viable and reasonable method of protecting the public’s interest. Therefore the legislature declares that it is the policy of this State that the formation and conduct of public policy—the discussions, deliberations, decisions, and action of government agencies—shall be conducted as openly as possible.
According to this Hawaiian Law, Janice Okubo is legally bound to give truthful and accurate responses:
This chapter shall be applied and construed to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which are to:
(1) Promote the public interest in disclosure;
(2) Provide for accurate, relevant, timely, and complete government records;
(3) Enhance governmental accountability through a general policy of access to government records;
(4) Make government accountable to individuals in the collection, use, and dissemination of information relating to them; and
(5) Balance the individual privacy interest and the public access interest, allowing access unless it would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. [L 1988, c 262, pt of §1]

So many lies, by so many people in so many locations, will not stand.
In time, the truth always rises to the surface. Always!
(Just ask my wife!)
“In time, the truth always rises to the surface. Always!”
Someone on one the birther blogs mentioned that it took about 13 months for the Watergate scancal to unravel.
The information on Obama’s coup d’etat is being revealed much slower but “the truth will out.”
Only a matter of time.

“scancel” oops.. that’s “scandal.”
The HI DOH undermines its rationale for hiding Obama’s birth certificate by posting an Obama FAQ page at its Web site. Clearly, the UIPA says that public interest outweight personal privacy ... posting an FAQ page admits there is sufficient public interest. Second, Obama has already made a record public. If it’s legit, anything the DOH discloses should be a redundant confirmation of the same information, so they wouldn’t be violating personal privacy through a public disclosure. Third, Obama is the most public figure in the world. He would not be able to file a complaint (and why would he if he’s legit), so there’s no legal risk from making Obama’s records public. The only problem is if Obama is not legit and disclosure provides evidence of criminal fraud. The public has a right to know.
Yes, I and others were saying that almost two years ago, when the faked COLB first appeared at a loony left wing site.
