What has Fred Blas done ?

[JerryCarr]

I made it my business to get to know Greggor Ilagan. I have seen him grow during the campaign to the point where I am positive things will be different should he win. He has a plan to help the subdivisions and to form coalitions with other council members to get Puna it's fair share of appropriations and capital improvements money. Fred has fallen back on the geothermal funds as a means of getting things done. That is the same as Emily Naeole did. I spoke to another council member in the Honolulu airport not long ago and was told that the other council members love for Puna to resort to using geothermal funds because it leaves more money on their table for their districts. I have had several occasions to talk with Fred, and he has shown a breathtaking lack of understanding of the fundamental issues facing the substandard subdivisions. He has tried to make some gestures toward HPP lately, but he still comes across as lacking much understanding of our situation, much less being able to articulate solutions. Greggor is a breath of fresh air who not only listens to people, but incorporates what they say into believable policy. He has my vote.
