All scam projects need to be halted. In Hawaii they are using emergency funds from floods to build new state parks. They are taking funds from other projects and replacing with FEMA money. Not solve the problem of people getting to their houses in Haena Kauai. The area is literally under a form of martial law. Also building new bridges that are not broken. Also funds went to Kailua, Oahu. Both areas of Tulsi Gabbard. And her father Mike Gabbard is in charge of appropriation for DLNR(parks and boating etc). You have to wonder how many of these states are doing things like this.

Alan Carpenter with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources outlined funding to go toward improving the park.
“We decided to dedicate funding that we had in our discretionary budget that was not intended to be used in this park, and we made a rapid decision,” he said.
“We took (funding) from other projects and we managed to encumber nearly $3 million within 10 days to set aside for this project.”
Carpenter credited the circumstances following the April floods as the main reason for the quick response for approval to make improvements to the park.
“Our vision is that we will build the improvements that are in the master plan rather than repairing things that just broke, and it doesn’t make sense to repair something that was washed away,” Carpenter said.
