Thanks for that enlightening tidbit from the ever trustworthy James Weatherford.
Seems to me if Mr. Lau had sufficient integrity and a functioning moral compass he would have exposed the outrageous Kenoi spendings and lifestyle or he would have quit. Instead he was a silent part of the problem and betrayal of the people.
Harry Kim is a known, not the greatest politician in the world but he has an honest track record. I'd like to see Pete Hoffman win this race but the population of the Big Island has yet to be known for it's intelligence, ethics and humanitarian efforts.
