• An article in Sunday’s edition on page A5 entitled, “Honolulu Advertiser Hawai‘i Homeland story refuted by governor,” should attribute the quote, “Mr. Dooley’s assertion that DHHL contracts were awarded due to political reasons is false,” to Gov. Linda Lingle’s Web site.
The quote, “We have awarded contracts based on expected performance. Mr. Dooley’s articles inferred contracts were awarded because the selection committee members had a relationship with the eventual awardees. This is also false. Just as we expect performance from the businesses with which we contract, we expect performance from the people we hire. The loyalty of the people on the selection committee is to DHHL — not to the awardees,” should be attributed to a Honolulu Advertiser letter to the editor written by Micah Kane, chairman of the DHHL.
The excerpt “the determination of qualifications, impartiality and independence is judgmental and left to the discretion of the head of the agency,” should be attributed to a letter written by State Procurement Office, Chief Procurement Officer Aaron Fujioka.
That letter was sent from Fujioka to Kane.
