Access to water should be predicated on “conversations about equity,” according to the Hawaii official under fire for delaying access to water during the Maui wildfires.
M. Kaleo Manuel, former deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, waited for more than five hours to release water during the wildfires that devastated Maui, according to reports.
In a livestream debate hosted by the University of Hawaii last year, Manuel described water as a sacred god.
“Let water connect us and not divide us,” said Manuel, referring to water distribution on the island. “We can share it, but it requires true conversations about equity…How do we coexist with the resources we have?” A former Obama Foundation leader — part of a program by the former President’s non-profit to help participants with coaching and “practical skill building for social change” — Manuel said he considered water an important tool for social justice. *** Manuel was transferred to another position within the Department of Land and Natural Resources Wednesday, according to Honolulu Civil Beat, which first reported the story of the delay. ***

PURE DUMBASS EVIL ANTI GOD CRAP PERSON!
Only a psychopath could do such a thing and live with themselves.
All it would take is a few individuals rightfully upset about how people were treated (like the relatives and friends you mentioned) to start the turnaround. Sadly, we live in an age of so few true leaders.
100% Democrat Incompetence
Private, real private like.
Democrats not only have a mental disorder, but have over the years developed an unhealthy for a human, Satanic thought process by which they make seriously wrong decisions.
We should cut Hawaii loose and grant them independence.
1000%
He won’t lose a day’s pay and we’ll never hear his name again until it surfaces in a new story about something he royally screws up on. Bureaucrats never go away.
This was such a bizarre statement that I almost wanted to laugh if it wasn’t such a terrible tragedy.
I bet that schmuck’s house didnt burn down..for “Equity” his house being saved was much more important..what occurred here was mass murder, this fire was NO accident, it was straight up murder
Leftists and marxists always destroy the economy and government efficiency or service.
Hard-core stalinists, if they have a job to do, at least try to do it, if nothing else for fear of punishment. Its why China can do some big things the Communist Party wants done (often in spite of consequences).
On the other hand, its these new-age, globohomo, Obama-style woke epigones, who through sheer stupidity, seem to attract the worst kind of random and destructive chaos.
I guess he had to make sure there were no White people getting too much water before he authorized the release.
God forbid he is arrested and put in the general population. He would quickly find out about equity.
“...A former Obama Foundation leader — part of a program by the former President’s non-profit to help participants...”
Obama won’t run for office again, he doesn’t need to.
Will NEVER happen.
Its the key to control of the Pacific. China would have a huge naval base there within 5 years.

Of course.
