AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Earthquake Aftermath: Hawaiʻi Island is still tallying damage after a magnitude-6.0 quake Friday night, with South Kona residents reporting cracked homes, broken windows, and rockslides that briefly shut parts of Highway 11—no injuries reported so far, but at least 28 houses damaged and one post-and-pier home deemed unlivable. Local Governance: A Hawaii County panel narrowly advanced a bill to shift major mayoral powers to a new county manager in a “hybrid council-manager” setup, sending it to the full council after a 5-4 vote. State Politics Probe: Gov. Josh Green says he’s not involved in an ongoing public corruption investigation that already forced the Human Services director to retire after questions tied to COVID-era testing contracts. Education Access: Hawaiʻi opened Preschool Open Doors applications for 2026-2027, expanding eligibility for 2-year-olds and aiming to boost early learning statewide. Policy Watch: The American Academy of Pediatrics updated recess guidance, backing “recess before lunch” to avoid rushed meals and improve behavior and attention.
