I wish I could give Billy an A+. I think he did fine on the lava emergency - that gets an A. He did his best to maintain the union and vendor kickback status during the fiscal emergency and for that I give him a C... most all the mayors have maintained the general squandering of taxpayer funds on their friends and political supporters. Billy is not unusual there.
What really bothers me is Billy did less than zero to resolve the institutional problems on the island. Especially the clustermess revolving around the illegally formed subdivisions. Given an opportunity to improve the situation (Like supporting legislation to make Fuel Tax Revenues available to the subdivisions) he worked behind the scenes to make that fail.... for that Billy gets an F. So Puna can look forward to another decade or two of worsening conditions. Mahalo Billy.

Assume the best and ask questions.
