An article in Wednesday’s West Hawaii Today included incorrect information about the results of two state Constitutional amendments. West Hawaii Today erroneously calculated its results based only on Hawaii County’s returns.
One proposal would have allowed the state to issue special purpose revenue bonds, the proceeds of which would have been used to assist dam and reservoir owners to bring those dams and reservoirs up to current safety standards. The second would have allowed the state Supreme Court chief justice to appoint retired judges older than 70, the age at which they are now required to retire, as emeritus judges.
Both measures failed.
It is the policy of West Hawaii Today to correct promptly any incorrect or misleading information when it is brought to the attention of the newspaper.
