Finalists named for special deputy post

Advertiser Staff

Five attorneys were named finalists this morning for the Special Deputy Attorney General position. The position was created to spearhead the civil investigation of the Kaloko Reservoir Dam's collapse on Mar. 14.

The attorneys are Ronald Albu, Robert Carson Godbey, Edward A. Jaffe, Douglas W. MacDougal, and Steven S. Michaels.

The selection committee selected the finalists from 36 applicants — all members of the Hawai'i State Bar Association.

Attorney General Mark Bennett will make the final determination.

The dam collapse on Kaua'i resulted in the loss of seven lives, massive flooding and extensive property damage.
