I happened to be perusing posts on the FernAcresAssociation yahoo group and came across what appears to be a possible ethical failure on the part of one of the candidates for County Council Member in Puna 5 - one Frances Pueo.
It appears that Candidate Pueo has created a fiction of not only her contributions to the Fern Acres community, where she lives, but also to the Puna community at large via a post she recently made on the FernAcresAssociation Yahoo group.
The Vice President of the association, Hank Schultz and another member of the yahoo group - a Marge Claybourne have vigorously apposed Pueo by stating substantiated available written facts which contradict her statements about her participation in the establishment of the Fern Acres governance.
I cannot imagine why any candidate for public office would do such a thing, but if the counter posts are accurate, which they appear to be, then the political platform Pueo is building needs to be examined very closely before election day.
I am very curious if anyone else is aware these ethical discrepancies.
I think it goes without saying that anyone running for public office needs to be beyond reproach in every way. Honesty, integrity, and forthrightness must be foremost in everything they say or do not only in their personal life but especially in their political life.
