It is about ethics, or more correctly, the lack of ethics.
Senator Ruderman used his professional business stationary with the explicit message that its message was coming from a state senator with the state government, knowing full well this violated conflict of interest laws.
Senator Ruderman also has very deep ties to several organic farming corporations on the mainland that stand to benefit greatly by manipulating the market to increase organic produce exports to Hawaii island, yes, imports to Hawaii island from mainland corporate organic farms. This is made obvious by his biased position being supported by constantly repeating the propaganda coming from these corporate organic farming organizations masquerading as non-profits and "humanitarian".
If Senator Ruderman cannot understand the meaning of ethics, then it isn't expected to see ethical behavior from him. The other problem with Senator Ruderman is that he doesn't seem to have a single original idea, instead being a mouthpiece for the small vocal fringe element that claims to represent Puna. Nobody is denying his right to speech. The problem is when free speech starts sounding like old, out of touch, corrupt drivel.

How does the business of organic farming benefit from this? The fewer the organic farmers, the more valuable their crop. How is promoting more organic farming going to put more money into the current organic farmers pocket? I'm sorry but that's a really lousy business plan. If the Senator was promoting more GMO and more pesticide use in current farming that would help bolster the value of his organic interests. The average understanding of ethics in this nation is about as disjointed as the average grounded skydiver who's chutes failed to deploy.
