How detrimental is it to allow far-left ideologues into bureaucratic public works positions?  The state of Hawaii just found out this week with a blaze that engulfed the Island of Maui and killed at least 110 people.  A series of management blundersare being blamed for the deadly wildfire, but one incident in particular has frightening implications.  

With wildfires ripping across West Maui on Aug. 8, a state water official delayed the release of water that landowners requested to help protect their property from damage and stop the spread. The water standoff played out over much of the day and the water didn’t come until too late.  The dispute involved the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ water resource management division and West Maui Land Co., which manages agricultural and residential subdivisions in West Maui.
