Finding examples of government inefficiency is a target-rich endeavor--for example, see the previous post below--but when elected officials make an effort, however modest, to serve their customers we should give credit where it's due. Honolulu has a number of satellite city halls sprinkled around Oahu. These are a great time-saver to commuters who have difficulty getting to the traffic-clogged center of town.
The satellite city hall at Ala Moana Shopping Center has an appealing store front. Like some other customers who didn't have any business to transact, we dropped in, lured by the brightly lit displays of police, fire, and emergency services paraphernalia. I didn't open my wallet, but I would have if they had T-shirts of Hawaii's state police force. © 2005 Stephen Yuen
