## Resource

Kapaa Quarry is in the crosshairs as Oahu’s next landfill, sparking fierce opposition from Windward lawmakers who warn changing Act 73’s half-mile buffer zone could endanger homes, schools, and a globally recognized wetland. With the current landfill set to close by 2028, critics argue the island’s construction industry — which relies on the quarry’s concrete — could be crippled, and that Windward has already endured five landfills since 1940. Community input and legal protections must be prioritized, or expect a heated battle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
