A Building Inspector Took Money From A Homeowner. Her Punishment: 2 Years Paid Time Off…The 2018 investigation was supposed to wrap up in a few weeks but dragged on for two years. No criminal charges have been filed.
Before five employees in the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting were indicted by the feds two weeks ago, accused of accepting bribes, one of their colleagues admitted to cashing a check from a property owner whose plans she was reviewing.
But she didn’t face any discipline or get charged with a crime. At least not yet.
Instead, she got two years of paid time off.
