📰 News we're reading

• Why Hawaii Has Only Five Counties (worldatlas.com) — Hawaii’s lack of separate town governments helps explain why county government handles so many everyday services across Oahu. The state’s five-county structure dates to 1905 and largely follows island boundaries, with Kalawao remaining an unusual exception administered by the state Department of Health rather than an ordinary elected county government.
