Question: With all you’ve said about Hawaii new licenses you didn’t mention that we just get a receipt now upon renewal. They gave me my old license back, with a hole punched in it. Can I use that at the TSA?

Question: An arsonist burned down the Sheridan Park playground well over a year ago. Does the city intend to ever rebuild it?

Question: Are blank votes treated the same on the city and state proposed amendments?

Question: Hawaiian Electric is using drones to check its equipment. What about on private property? Do they need permission?

Question: With Halloween on a Saturday this year, it’s likely there will more more trick-or-treaters out. Please encourage parents to make sure their kids can be seen — dark clothing without reflective material is risky!

Question: Auwe! I was unable to renew my driver’s license, despite having made an appointment months ago, because the DMV’s new computer system couldn’t call up my REAL ID information. I have had the starred license for years and renewed it once before with no trouble and I wasn’t trying to change anything — same name and address. People need to know about this. Bring your documents if you are trying to renew your license, even if you already have the star.

Question: Regarding driver’s license renewal, since the city already knows there will be a spike in demand for appointments through most of next year, is it mobilizing to meet demand? What specifically is it doing to increase appointment slots?

Question: I have been waiting for a package for nearly two weeks (it shipped Oct. 8 and is expected to be delivered Oct. 30, per the U.S. Postal Service) and I was told by the shipper that it was likely due to changes in policy at USPS. Slow boat. Just in time for Christmas. Warn your subscribers!

Question: Now with everyone voting by mail, do we still have same-day voter registration?

Question: Will the DMV add more Saturday appointments before the end of the year? The last time they did it was for Oct. 10. I can’t get a regular appointment before my license expires. Is walking in an option anymore?
