Hi Cat.
I have talked with Fred and James and Barbara on the zoning issues. I know that James and Barbara understand the situation. Fred seems to listen and appreciate my proposals but as you say we haven't heard zoning raised publicly as an issue. It may be a bit too esoteric for the voting population's general consumption. Most people don't relate zoning to lack of jobs and business opportunities and frankly, most people are too busy just trying to get by day to day to delve too deeply into the arcane details of local government. Sooooo the elections too often become popularity pageants or in Puna's case sometimes a comedy revue.

Assume the best and ask questions.
