Carlisle 'Not Happy' About Excessive Overtime Use by City Workers

Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle says he's not happy about reports of excessive use of overtime by city road division employees and promised to look into the issue, following a series of stories Civil Beat published this week.

"We're going to take a look at that, and we're going to take whatever steps are necessary," Carlisle told Civil Beat Wednesday. "I'm glad to know about the circumstances. I'm not happy about them at all."

Civil Beat ran three articles about overtime use at the city's Road Maintenance Division:

• Road to Riches Part 1: Overtime at City Road Division
• Road to Riches Part 2: City Workers Claimed 5,525 Overtime Hours for Illegal Stream Dumping
• Road to Riches Part 3: Getting Paid for Overtime Work — Twice
