Hawaii free press is notoriously biased against the Democratic establishment. Reading it for "news" is like reading the Enquirer or watching Fox...you only get a certain, and predictable, point of view.
Also, you'll be relieved to know, after avoiding them all your life, that there's NO stripping in "Korean" bars. There are strip bars in Honolulu, but it's not where the Mayor took his guests. At Korean bars there's pupu's and conversation, similar to a Geisha in Japan. It's a cultural thing, we don't have anything like it in the US. For me it's puerile and a waste of time and money. But in Asian business culture it's commonplace and expected. So sometimes I end up in one, feeling a bit silly.

The reasons his judgement is deemed "flawed" is the real story here. Those casting stones should have been reading Machivelli instead of Mother Jones.
Our island has deep structural issues and flaws. We need leaders who won't accept the status quo, who will build rather than hire, who say "Can" rather than "no can"...
Harry was hire plenty County workers and say "no can" to change for 8 years ( after personally milking overtime for hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout his tenure as CD chief)
Billy inherits a recessionary economy, a bloated County workforce, and steers a tight ship with major projects accomplished in his 8, (while using his County credit card for entertainment expenses)
Harry is viewed as a saint, Billy a sinner.
Spare me.
