Letter: Musing the upkeep of cemeteries, highways

I find it hilarious that a state agency will take over the maintenance of “often-neglected Hawaii government cemeteries adopted from private operators” (“State seeks to stop neglect at adopted government cemeteries,” Jan. 20, Star-Advertiser). A state leader says that it is handled “when we have time, we’ll get out there and do it.”

From the look of our state’s unsightly highways, that same statement definitely applies.
