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. ***

Who knew there were even any Amish on Maui? (Other than Bathhouse Barry)?
Every libtard that screwed up is running for cover
Why don’t / didn’t they have a sea water pumping station???????
A God among leftist liberals.
Billions of dollars in property losses, and perhaps hundreds of deaths. But water is sacred. He needs to be jailed one year for each death.
Don’t forget boats. Fire boats that have huge pumps that are basically water cannons. Never worked on them, though.
He’s hiding.
NYFD And the Houston Ship Channel and Mobile Bay have them.
POC are beginning to get the notion that whatever the Progs say their purpose is is exactly the opposite. They’ve also begun to notice that the most wealthy Progs who fund the movement are white. Imagine that?
sounds like Manual is a bit of a control freak like his idol obama
Hi Travis - Do you think this fire has the earmarks of a DEW strike?
If yes, Who has such weapons?
Thanks in advance.
Short rope& even shorter drop💩
Every one is equal when they are dead. Mission accomplished.
According to data, the White percentage on Maui is 33%. The fire must have been very destructive for ‘native Hawaiians’ as well.
Whenever you hear the word “equity” grab your wallet and reach for the .45 because someone is out to rob you.....of your money, your property or your life.
He wasnt fired he was just given a new job...
Failure to sound warning sirens, shutting off water...
Sounds like someone wanted this to happen
I would wait till everything died down and he was forgotten. Then........
Exactly. YET, there’s people here who scream Term Limits for Congress and cannot see that would result in 1000’s more apparatchik Manuel’s that can never be fired….only laterally promoted.
