Kaua'i has plenty smart, talented Hawaiians with the mana to lead and get elected but sad they don't run. Let's face facts: Hawaiian candidates have a big advantage. Being Hawaiian is in, very cool. When I was in school most of my friends would say they were portagee or pake or japanee or anything but Hawaiian even if they were part Hawaiian. Hawaiian was shame. Now any kid that's dipped a finger in a poi bowl like say dey "get part Hawaiian". I knew something changed big time when our oldest daughter came home from school saying she wished she were Hawaiian [she's standard Kauai mutt mix but no Hawaiian...] Now our grandchildren think the Hawaiian kids are rock stars--especially if they surf and play music, not so hard for Hawaiians! We are in a Hawaiian culture revival and all things Hawaiian are COOL. Time for Kauai's bright, talented Hawaiians to reclaim their birthright! Kamehameha kids come home! Lead our separate kingdom!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-33314746122728522462012-11-23T08:14:20.699-10:002012-11-23T08:14:20.699-10:00Ken and Glenn are morons, period!

Is that what you are saying, 4:06 PM?<br /><br />Because that is exactly how this county is positioning the public: Stay out of OUR business. This is OUR council to run the way we want and donʻt need any pesky public.<br /><br />They have turned off most of the community already and Ken and Glenn are pretty much the only members of the public that actually take part in the process. MAybe they like Mel because heʻs the only one that actually listens to the testifier.<br /><br />But I imagine that eventually both of them will get tired of it too. Then the Council and Pl. Comm. will have achieved their mission. And you will be happy.<br /><br />Joanne can just posture and pose for the camera all day without having to think about what to say.<br /><br />But, then that leaves Nakamura...who will she have to pretend to that she is actually ʻthinkingʻ about anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-57385327823673460632012-11-22T16:06:19.416-10:002012-11-22T16:06:19.416-10:00Glenn: "fix the roads, stop the bike path, st...Glenn: "fix the roads, stop the bike path, stop the marathon and leave Shaylene alone."<br />Ken: "where I come from, they know how to run a government.

I agree and my last post ...Thank you!!!! 12:16 AM.<br /><br />I agree and my last post alludes just to that.<br />The majority of Japanese in Hawaii government are NO friend to the kanaka.<br /><br />Haoles are always blamed for the land theft. Maybe because they do it in such an obvious and assaulting manner....Now the Japanese, thatʻs what you call insidiousness. Sneaking around behind everyoneʻs back FOR DECADES. And still implanting themselves in government to maintain control.<br /><br />Inouye has been the most evil corrupt bastard to ever affect policy of Hawaii. Righteousness and honor? Give me a break.

Personally I am sick of their faces and pretentiousness. They are not terribly bright but conniving they are.

Bynum has been successful without "family name and connections" and the same is mostly true about Hooser. They are both sincere and independant. Mel is the naysayer and clearly some people value that. Jay although full of himself is a vast improvement over Kaipo. JoAnn and Nadine are both strong educated women that have a lot to offer.

Unfortunately, and for that reason, there are few qualified people in elected offices and, as a result, very few department heads and "number 2s" that are qualified. What is their qualification? They are loyal and will keep their mouths shut. But, that's clearly how Kauai wants it. (At least the majority of voters.) To add insult to injury, many of the 'thinking' voters are so disgusted with the process that they choose not to vote. This is unacceptable. On the other hand, who in their right mind would even want to be part of the dysfunctional and borderline corrupt council / mayor / etc? At least we don't have to put up with Kaipo any longer. Kualii and Chang are out so maybe there is hope. Time for this mayor to wise up or get the heck out. The power has gone to his head and he's no longer working for the people. He's working for himself and those that worked behind the scenes for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-85316473275347406992012-11-22T07:10:29.343-10:002012-11-22T07:10:29.343-10:00Bynum, Furfaro, Rapozo and Yukimura should keep qu...Bynum, Furfaro, Rapozo and Yukimura should keep quiet.
