Governor Abercrombie is increasing Ag Inspectors at Honolulu International Airport by 10 positions to help fight the spread of invasive species. This restores some positions lost when former Governor Lingle cut the Agricultural Inspection staff two years ago.

None of the restored positions affect Kahului Harbor or Kahului Airport. Maui has 13 state agricultural inspectors, four fewer than it had in 2009 before Gov. Lingle laid them off.
