debauchals of over   
20 yrs. documented,   
   covered up and   
ignored in highest   
places!
Experiences of a hard working, dedicated, generously helpful
employee whose every "serious" concern about health & safety,
fraud, sexual harassment, discrimination, neglect and abuses in
in the work place should be made known publicly.
Every  concern
was reported to the  immediate supervisor and when not acted upon
became a
grievance which went up the channel of administrators
resulting in denials. Those concerns reaching the Director were
responded with
 "An Investigation by our supervisors showed that
the  complaint was without merit,"
or words to that effect. Each
sitting Governor received letters of the most serious incidents
without responding.  The Supervisor told employee, "Go tell it to
the Governor. We Supervisors back each other up."  She did
together withh her grievance charges without response from Gov.

Early on HGEA agent response to concerns was
"Don't make
waves."  
 The HGEA finally did something near employee's
retirement date and succeeded in securing the LONG DELAYED
promotion of the discrminated employee.

Examples of a couple of incidents.  ALL incidents
documented in a
4-drawer file cabinet:. (Attorney rep DHS and another enters
office adjacent to greivance hearing overheard DHS atty say,
"She documents everything. Nobody does that" ...chuckling.

1. Employee frequently electrically shocked at her desk. Wire to her
desk covered with tape from across office floor. Situation reported to
Supervisors without action. A phone call to OSHA brought inspector,
and
Dept cited and fined some $14,000.

2. Women's restroom used by 75 employees in basment of the
Liliuokalani Bldg goes a full year being
cleaned ONCE a MONTH.
No paper, filth everywhere. Photos sent to Health Dept. by DOE
personnel
ignored. Tired of being burned in the ear listening
to employee, my wife,
everyday for a year picking her up from work
had me write a letter to Governor Waihee;  then thought the better
of it because responses from Govs, except  Ariyoshi, always came
from Gov's "advisor"
negative. I addressed the letter to
MRS WAIHEE, instead knowing she would UNDERSTAND how
important a CLEAN rest room was for women. BINGO!  A week later
I,m told Mrs. Waihee had
who's who of State brass in tow visting
subject restroom. Custodian transferred; ladies elated and happy

3.
Sexual harassment of new female employees by immediate
supervisor. Rather than report it, females leave. Last straw new
employee is my wife's friend's daughter. Supervisor begins to court
her with flowers, buys concert tickets for two (she denies dating), he
gives tickets away....then, she say
"NO" to him driving her home
from work...
he insists and she finally relents. Reaching home her
Dad
see's her steping out of the car. As she approaches her father he
asks who was it bringing her home. She said he is
her boss.
Furious
her father says, "What kind that, boss bring you home?"
She quit immediately...is now a public school teacher. My wife
reported Supervisor's conduct to the HS Director. Director responded
that Supervisor was not guilty of harassment....and then said,
(WHY DID SHE HAVE TO SAY IT?) " He was warned to be careful."

4. FRAUD.  Supervisor puts in daily overtime by holding back a
document to be completed and submitted by an employee. She
submits it,  and gets away with being paid 1- 2 hours overtime
daily year after year. It is approved by her Supervisor.
State records
document this.

5. NO Oversight = incompetence=millions LOST via DHS.
One employee SAVED State $81,000 a year referring only 18
welfare clients to Social Security  qualifying for MORE
dollars thus SAVING our STATE that money and had 20 more
clients whose applications are"pending". Supervisor KNOWS
this, tells staff about it WITHOUT follow-up a/c "Eligibility
workers" do not know  what, where and how to send clients to   
Social Security. Its their JOB!  Supervisors do not "Supervise"
those Supervisors under them, all the way down the chain...so
the  public must suffer the consequences such as lose services,
employee layoffs, furlough day fiascos and place our State
into a "bankrupt mode" that should never have happened if
the
State was run as a BUSINESS of and for the PEOPLE!

Teacher at Stevenson Int 25 yrs, new roof leaked every 3 years, 4th yr. reroofed New. SWEPCO ran AD on
1 Sat for roofing distributor in Hawaii. I was product distributor, so responded to see if SWEPCO had the
answer to our problem. Received brochure and I challenged the
too good to be true claims SWEPCO
made. They invited me to spend one week at Ft. Worth to PROVE all of their claims. They did and
more...the more being the 100% guarantee over terms, 8, 10,12 and 20 years on their 32 different systems,
Internationally huge in almost every country, any and all weather conditions. Guaranteed in every country!
It is that GOOD. No leaks!
PLUS, no reroofing at end of term guraranteed. At end of term simply one COAT
over entire roof
GUARANTEES same term as first 100%, term after term after term!  NO RE-ROOFING for
decade after decade!  
PLEASE CALCULATE THAT now, today.
DAGS files should contain SWEPCO manual, specs AND video  I left when Gov Ariyoshi had
me meet with DAGS Administrators. I also left enough product to roof a small building
FREE, with the offer to help supervise the installation in according to SPECIFICATIONS;  
and as the SWEPCO AUTHORIZED agent  to sign the SWEPCO GUARANTEE. The easily
installed systems do  not require a contractor!  I am not a roofing contractor but I did a
few roofs for the happiest owners who for 25 years have not reroofed.

SWEPCO IS a private corporation started in 1932 after discovering
how to use residue discarded from oil to make cold asphalt without
solvents to remain pliable and inflammable (won't burn) to seal
buildings from water penetration (roof, basment, walls). I sealed my
(ready to junk) old leaking van to be leak proof for years.
 
PLEASE

get to learn and
KNOW what is
happening within
ALL government
departments and
agencies so that
changes good, bad,
avoided, promoted,
etc.

the chance to input
into the system "of
the people" and help
us all get out of the
"funk" we are
wallowing in for want
of
communication and
solutions.

Politics, harassment,  
cliques, fraud   
discrimination,  
cheating, rudeness,
frustration and more
all need to be  
 resolved.

Decision makers
need input for the
best
ideas, for best
solutions. The
suggestion box is a
viable tool for input
good, bad and
productive.
TRY IT!

It is important and
most critical for the
positive changes
needed benefitting
the entire State.
