@DaVinci - didn't say I was a supporter of Tim Law, just that he was better than I expected him to be. I want to learn more about Paleka - he seemed them most rational of the bunch (which is, I admit, a pretty low bar..). A friend who also attended sent me this recap of the candidates' assessment of their own qualifications and stands on important issues. It's not 100% accurate or complete, but pretty darn close...
Almeida: I'm a nice person. I go through the dumpsters and the recycle bins to find items to sell in my thrift shop. My church does lots of good things for the community
Cunningham: Growing industrial hemp and pot is the answer man. It's all in my ordinance. (Cue waving of a massive document.) I also ran for governor twice and mayor twice - lost both times. I had my chiropractor license revoked. We need to build floating cities from old navy ships and live on the radioactive sewage from Japan.
Hampton: I'm 62 and I was around in 1975.
Hunt: I'm a local journalist. My first job was writing an article about the Matthew Shepard murder. I'm passionate about solid waste and garbage.
Law: I'm a farmer, and the Philipino workers have been eating the destructive Coconut beetles for a year so we didn't know we had an invasive species on Oahu.
Paleka: I'm born here. I have a corporate background, I don't have many firm positions at the moment but I will research all issues before making a decision.
Pueo: Because the county only leases the landfill, the landlord won't allow us to feed the feral cats and chickens there anymore. We need to condemn the property and own it.
