I believe Fred Blas is a decent person but lacks the strategic mind set that anyone in a political position needs.I have been following his term closely and it seems to me that the majority of his decisions were made from inductive reasoning.To be successful in representing the people of puna on the county council by making sure the WHOLE puna district receives there fair share of funding,I belive one would have to posses the skills necessary to make strategic choices and to think deductively.Take the repaving of kahakai for example,anyone with a little political background can see,that it was not a pareto efficient decision.In my opinoin if Mr.Blas gets reelected the other council members will look upon him as inductively dominated and strategically weak,not one to be allied with.They will look upon the people of puna as uneducated and masochistic for reelecting him,not deserving any serious thought or action.
Opihikao I now its off topic but i feel compelled to reply to your erroneous statement(In fact, today there are those who are not of Hawaiian blood that are more "Hawaiian" in their ways than some of our own, sad to say.)Being Hawaiian is not a set of standards.One Hawaiian cannot be more Hawaiian by their actions then an other.Just as one with no Hawaiian ancestry be more Hawaiian by his/her actions then an actual Hawaiian.
