Title: Incompetence of Ige Administration highlighted on HNN
Post by: RSN172 on April 03, 2017, 08:48:42 AM
On this morning's news it was pointed out that the state needs to move the commuter terminal, but can't until a new terminal gets built first.  They were hoping Larry Ellison would spend the several million $ and build it for them.  Well, Ellison did not build a new terminal for his airline and all the while the Feds had the money available for the asking.  The Ige administration did not ask then, but are asking now.  If I was Trump, I would do everything in my power to deny the request for Fed $.

I know one of his cabinet appointees very well.  I went to college with the guy and while we're not close, I know him well enough.  It's an all show, not much go type.  His initiative's are not new and they don't really go anywhere.  The accolades he's getting have been "successes" on what people thought of the initiatives as opposed to results.  I guess somewhat a case of "fake news". 

It's not like I am wishing the guy wouldn't succeed.  It's just that I know him and his style and it's really one of smoke and mirrors.  Sort of like a personal Ponzi scheme that sounds good on the surface, but by the time you figure out you've been duped, it's too late.

Thanks. That's what I figured, but since Trump was mentioned as possibly denying federal funds...
