first, in response to your question, what Council member(s) satisfied me
in the last 20 years?
Pilago, Ford, Hoffman, both Jacobsons, on the change/ideological side,
Yashimoto on the traditionalist/clientalistic side.
The political system at a local level is delivery of services and responsible
current and future policies.
The general public in Hawai'i County has two general approaches to government and political representation:
1) those who look at political representatives as someone who fixes things on a personal,
non-political, traditional level of individual and family ties for instance.
2) those who see ideology and political positions and programs as primary determinants for
a political representative.
Thinking out loud and speculating on a forum like this can cause some worthwhile discussions.
Just don't give an observer a hard time.
