You and R.J. seem almost gleeful in your determination to bring a private citizen and a valuable community asset down to their knees. And there is the appearance of a political payoff for you and R.J. in it.
Just my opinion of course...
Your rationale makes no sense about bringing down "a valuable community asset" as if this is wrong and unethical. Using this same rationale, I must believe that you would sanction all those Priests that have been charged with, and convicted of child abuse and allow it to continue on the grounds that Priests are "a valuable community asset". Those who grossly and knowingly violate the laws need to be "brought down to their knees" even though they hide behind a successful community activity.
This bit about "a political payoff" is a gross misjudgment on your part. I don't believe they had any such intentions in that all this SB2274 work and uncovering the horrible truths all took place prior to running for office. They were acting as just a community activist trying to protect the people of Puna. If by chance this sways someone to vote for RJ, that's life.
