We sat down with Councilwoman Fern Holland for the latest episode of Kauai Wire: The Interview — and we didn't go easy on her.
Trash and solid waste management. The housing and labor crisis. What her first term on the Kauai County Council has actually looked like from the inside. We covered it all, plus her background, her committee work, parks and rec initiatives, how tourism is reshaping the community, and the houseless and drug crisis nobody wants to talk about but everybody's living with.
If you've ever wondered what it's really like to sit on the Council and make these calls — this one's worth the listen.
