Our mayor admitted his wrong use of this credit card, he takes Full responsibility. He was warned and yet continued using it, bad judgement on his part. Very hard to watch the video of him explaining or apologizing for this type of behavior. He looked very uncomfortable shifting from side to side, he also did not want to mention names of folks he was with at the bar, why not? If you use someone else's credit card, they may want to know why or what on? He wants to take full responsibility for several dozen times he used this credit card unjustly, yet does not feel he should resign. No mention at all about needing time with his family for possible healing due to all this embarrassment, maybe his family was with him in the evergreen bar? His ethics, morals, and values seem to have left him during these hard times in Puna, if he ever had any. My teenage sons are very disappointed in our mayor's decisions and spending habits, they feel what he did was wrong and in no way should be a leading example of our New Puna community today. He gets an F for family, he gets an F for mayor, he gets an A for being a good lawyer, he will get a pass from the mafia.
