I agree with most of what Carol just wrote, but would clarify one point. I was involved in the meetings and discussion when the proposed HPP park was on the table. Fred did not help with the negotiations, but he also did not push for redirecting the funds to Pahoa until after HPP had rejected it. This was yet another case where HPP was its own worst enemy.
As for the Council race, I think Greggor Ilagan is worth considering. Having spoken to him early in the race, in the middle, and lately, I have seen him grow into his candidacy. When asked a question, he gets straight to the point instead of inundating the questioner with carefully parsed political rhetoric. Very refreshing, that.
