Top state and local government and political news from all the islands

Pele was right all along, other top Hawaii news

A volcanologist finds parallels between the legends of old Hawaii and modern geologic research

It's no surprise to Lance Taketa, 31, that the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau show Hawai'i has the highest home values and rental costs in the nation.

More cuts are being proposed at the state's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.


A debate for decades is rekindled as Honolulu considers allowing more vacation rentals and bed and breakfast businesses. But, some feel the move might be a slippery slope for other development and could be disastrous for their quiet neighborhood.

On Tuesday, the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa will go before the Maui Planning Commission seeking approval to add 310 lodging units and other amenities that would cost $250 million.

Kaua‘i Police Chief Darryl Perry said he has withdrawn his name from consideration to be the Honolulu Police Department’s top cop.

New! Nonprofit library in the works. You can help!

Since 2009, All Hawaii News has chronicled the day's top state and local government and political news in a hand‐curated collection organized by island. The result is more than 4,000 pages of daily news synopses from the state's top media sources, complete with links to the original stories. With each page containing some 20 entries, that totals 80,000 or more entries. Because of the ever‐changing media landscape, with media outlets frequently changing ownership, many of the older links are no longer live. But the descriptions of the articles nonetheless provide a valuable history of daily news items as they occurred and a great starting point for those researching the state's recent history. This body of work needs to be solidified, updated and shared. It's currently housed on its original Blogger site (www.allhawaiinews.com), where search functions are rudimentary at best. A nonprofit domain, allhawaiinews.org, has been secured for expansion to the news library.
