It helps to keep the community dialogue going. Where else does one have that? The GIN used to post comments several times a day, but now I figure have cut back on personnel and only do it once a day. That hinders the dialogue and therefore the GIN has lost community voice. Thank you, Joan for providing this forum. Sometimes I don't agree with you, but that's life....and freedom.

A failed tactic.<br />He does have a lot of support from the wealthy new-comers. These new-comers have no family ties to Kauai and want the island to be their own little paradise. They do not care that locals have to make a living.<br /><br />Gary's "Bite Me" comments to Mr Tokioka are vile. <br />Gary has a huge retirement plan from his years at the State and County. He is set. <br />What used to be a pretty good guy has turned into a real asshole. An arrogant f^cking asshole.

Many here disagree on specific issues with Joan. I am much more conservative than Joan but like Tulsi, for instance. <br />But Joan cares about things like mass starvation(GMO), and stupid impositions on basic living like fireplaces, I us, and irrational taxes (Joanne Yukimura's specialty) designed to punish.

Joan why are'nt you reporting on Ross missing almost every single budget meeting? He is working full time for the state DOE and for the council and getting retirment points for both. The big fist also knows people are watching his travel spending and so he has stayed below almost everyone else (as you earlier reported Joan). But keep it up Joan, your constant attention is for sure driving the guy nuts if nothing else. And your reporting on good and positive things being done by the GMO guys in India is much needed to educate all those crazy internet green whackos.

She speaks for the silent majority and we are mostly silent because we are tired of being harrassed by your type. What you wrote is a perfect example of how dillusional, self righteous and mean spirited people like you can be. Thanks for posting the example of what a Gary Hooser supporter sounds like.

Just like the other notable politicians on the island and across the world (Yuki, Rapoozo, Kollar, Carvalho, Kouchi - all of em - regardless of affiliation) they are all cut from the same mold - driven by weird notions of power as success. <br />The motto is always the same: "What are you going to do for me today?" It's never "Thank you for what you have done for me." from a POL. Its always, "What are you going to do for me next. Best not to donate your hard earned money to any of them. If political wind changes, they will turn on you - guarans.<br /><br />There is a reason folks hate politicians. It is because they all act like politicians.

Such a disappointment<br /><br />But it is an opinion piece and not reporting. Guess you are lilly white and right again, aren't ya?<br /><br />I suppose this comment will go in the dust bin like any others that don't extoll your "virtue".<br /><br />Are you back from gloating over the poverty you saw in India and your lack of helpful rhetoric,like did you build a school feed the hungry prevent trafficking or god forbid save the intenet?<br /><br />While human rights issues abound in India and the press is strangled in India I guess you could only see one issue. On your paid junket tour you only gave a one sided opinion piece.<br /><br />Anyone who would pay for that is a blind fool. Or a one sided amoeba who sees it's industry shrinking away because people aren't blind fools.<br /><br />This game goes both ways,unless your kettle is shiny don't bitch about what is in someone else s pot.<br /><br />Seriously get over yourself. Words have power, and the power is usually to backfire in your face.<br /><br />You have a mission in life. To destroy a woman from India and a man who holds public office in Kauai, and to support corporation s, greed and the spraying of innocent people eon the Westside, Eastside, and Lihu'e with RUP's. And those were local people too.<br /><br />You are a paid schill,or a zealot who will do it for free. Opinion is not reporting Reporting shows a balance and lets the reader determine the opinion. Opinion shows only one side and does not allow the reader to formulate their own ideas on the subject.<br /><br />So do not call your "writing" reporting. Call it the jealous rage fueled ranting that it is. you,Ms..Conrow are a nasty piece of work.<br /><br />I challenge you to print this btw. For balance sake I doubt you will though.
