LIHU‘E — The Kaua‘i County Council investigation into tampering with the official county Web site remains open, Chair Kaipo Asing said Wednesday.
In an interview in Council Chambers during a brief recess, Asing said he has not yet heard anything about the investigation, which he announced during a presentation on council rules during July 22’s 16-hour marathon meeting.
Asing said the investigation has not been closed, but has not yet returned any findings.
Last week, County Attorney Al Castillo and County Clerk Peter Nakamura both declined to comment on the investigation, deferring to Asing.
Castillo said he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.
The day following the announcement of the investigation, Lani Kawahara called it “ridiculous” and said she believed it stemmed from a recent authorized change to the council’s e-mail system that distributes electronic correspondence from the public sent to councilmembers@kauai.gov and counciltestimo-ny@kauai.gov to all council members rather than to only Nakamura and his staff.
