Lance D. Collins Conflict of Interest Corrupts Community Television

Lance D. Collins, Akaku: Maui Community Television Board of Directors Counsel Recommends Akaku Sues the State.
Lance D. Collins, Lawyer for Akaku Maui Community Television, takes money from Akaku to Sue the State of Hawaii.
Lance D. Collins, Lawyer for Akaku Maui Community Television, sues 21 anonymous Community TV producers. Case Dismissed.

Lance D. Collins, Akaku: Maui Community Television Lawyer, strikes "Prohibited Transactions" from Akaku By-Laws.
Lance D. Collins, Akaku: Maui Community Television Lawyer, inserts "Akaku 'SHALL' advance legal fees" into Akaku By-Laws.

Lance D. Collins, Akaku: Maui Community Television's well paid Parlimentarian, Counsel to the Board of Directors, Lawyer, Lobbyist and Maui Democratic Party Media Chairman improperly pressures Democratic Party legislators/candidates in the upcoming election while threatening the community and legislators with denial of access to Maui County's community television channels.

Self-dealing transaction? Conflict of Interest? Illegal campaign spending of 501(c)(3) non-profit funds promoting legislation? Illegal use of public access channels for propoganda? Only the State of Hawaii Attorney General, Mark Bennett Knows.

Will removing these provisions against self dealing transactions from Akaku's by-laws "fix" the problem? Is the problem Akaku's By-laws or the systematic violation of Akaku's By-laws by Akaku: Maui Community Television's President and Chief Executive Officer, Jay April and Parlimentarian, Counsel and Lawyer Lance D. Collins? What about the legislator/candidates from Maui's Democratic Party that find themselves face to face with their own Political Party Media Chair over a vote for special interest litigation specifically written in his favor?

Maui's Democratic Party is not the party of Community Television, nor does Maui's Democratic Party own Maui Community Television. The real question is how Maui's Democratic Party is going to insulate itself from the political fallout of a corruption investigation involving millions of misappropriated dollars and unaccounted funds from a non-profit organization, created by the State of Hawaii exclusively to provide Public Access television to cable subscribers, illegal campaign spending, self dealing transactions, conflicts of interest, and well paying frivolous self-litigation resulting from Maui's Democratic Party's own Media Chair managing to publicly Spitzer himself, just months before what is recognized as one of the most significant elections Maui will have seen in a long time.

Send these clowns back to California. Now there is an idea for the Superferry.

Aole Pono.
