Ahmen brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised I'm not jailed in Hawaii.
Perhaps it is because the county of Honolulu
can't afford all the laws they pass for the rest of us.
BTW why is Honolulu the only town that is a county.
(Excepting the Leper community)
Oahu is just an afterthought.
Counties are supposed to encompass all lands in all states. If you aren't inside an incorporated city or town, then you're within the jurisdiction of the local county.
I grew up outside the local city limits. So, we went to county schools, paid county taxes for roads, schools, etc., and called the local Sheriff if we needed to report a crime. The police only operated inside city limits. Even though our postal address used the city near our home, we were not city residents.
The city also had a standing fire department, whereas we had a volunteer fire department made up of people with regular jobs who could drop everything to respond to a call.
"The five counties of Hawaii on the Hawaiian Islands enjoy somewhat greater
status than many counties on the United States mainland.
Counties in Hawaii
are the only legally constituted government bodies below that of the state. No formal level of government (such as city governments) exists below that of
the county in Hawaii."
"Unlike the other 49 states, Hawaii does not delegate educational responsibility
to local school boards; public education is carried out by the Hawaii State
Department of Education.[1] Hawaiian counties collect property taxes and user
fees in order to support road maintenance, community activities, parks (including
life guards at beach parks), garbage collection, police (the state police force,
called the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, is limited in scope), ambulance,
and fire suppression services.[2]"
