But Ige said the Navy has a lot of work to do to mend ties with the general public following the publication of videos depicting the fuel leak, which the Navy previously told the state did not exist.

“People are very very skeptical,” Ige said during the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s “Spotlight Hawaii” program on Wednesday.
