(KHON-TV) Always Investigating recently uncovered excessive overtime by city and state workers, then timecard fraud at TheBus. Now, another discovery of wasted time, but not in a way you might expect.
This time it’s about wasted time-keeping, so to speak, in the form of a big investment by the state Department of Education into technology that never panned out.
At the Kapolei state building, in the break room of a DOE office, behind the recycling and the to-be-filed pile, are stacks and stacks of timeclocks –- nearly $1 million worth of them. The machines are still nicely boxed, all taped up and just sit, collecting dust and cobwebs.
