Best-kept secret is HB29 HD1<\/a> that is being quietly pushed through at the Hawaii State Legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#HB29 is getting weirder by the minute. An attorney from Ashford & Wriston representing the Hawaii Bankers Association (HBA( testified<\/a> that Hawaii already has a non-judicial foreclosure for delinquent mortgages, which is true. She cited the Hawaii Revised Statutes HRS 667<\/a> on foreclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Chair #DavidTarnas said he would incorporate the bankers’ testimony<\/a> into their HB29. amendment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, why? It doesn’t make sense. There is NO Mortgage involved. No private property owner applied or got a mortgage from the County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re talking heavy smokes and mirrors, apples and oranges here. Expectedly, Bankers can force a NON-JUDICIAL foreclosure if a private property borrower does not pay. A property owner knowingly entered into a mortgage contract with promise to pay the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with this new POWER OF SALE HB29, it’s a forced “taking”. The County wants to sell a private property — based on a County civil fine — WITHOUT going to court. EVERY private property owner becomes a sitting duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is really spooky. It exposes all private property owners to the whims of the government. HB29 HD1<\/a> is a fast lane to Tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give voice. I testified that allowing the Counties Non-Judicial POWER OF SALE<\/strong> – – to sell private properties based on DPP’s civil fines WITHOUT going to court – – is unconstitutional and violates the 14th US Amendment. I asked if the public can trust DPP to be the POLICE, PROSECUTOR, JUDGE, JURY, & EXECUTIONER!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also see the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting’s reasons for wanting more easy Powers here. Dawn Takeuchi Apana<\/a>‘s excuses for this quick Power of Sale are that their existing eminent domain power is too slow and costly and the city is short-staffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we really want to trust DPP who does not respect basic Constitutional Private Property Rights?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
