I'm not as gracious as Opihikao. Different culture, different personality, different mood. Who knows?
Your question;
"...Why would Harry Kim not be getting your vote exactly? His Health, His age, his not spending enough back when the population was reduced ..."
My answer;
I don't agree with Opihikao that he is (was) a good man. He was always more a thin skinned and arrogant public employee careerist . He ripped off the County with the most "over time" paid, ever ! He refused to hire a Deputy CD Director for years so he could keep raking it in. The personality change he went through in the '90's was due to massive coronaries... Which while it proved he had a heart, and did improve his disposition, did nothing to improve his preparedness or capacities for governance. He relied on his Deputies, Andy Levin and Billy Kenoi, to manage and run the County while he slouched behind the desk. He resented Billy Kenoi and petulantly ran against him in '12 thinking that as an "Applicant for Mayor" the public would restore him as "the Man". His two losses in 2012, Primary and General, did nothing to diminish his ego. Now as a 77 year old man he wants to "Restore Trust in Government". Well that's like Donald Trump wanting to "Make America Great Again"! We're more than "great" enough in America, and there's more than sufficient reason to "trust" our COH government;
Do we have an adequate Public Safety force ? Check.
Have our COH services improved? Check
Are County parks, roads, and facilities being built and then maintained ? Check
Has public employee increases been brought under control? Check.
Is our debt within reason? Check
You may be a ill educated. In which case I apologize. Or you may be obtuse. For which I don't.
Yes, you are entitled to an opinion BUT it brings with it an obligation to better inform yourself of the facts available and to apply a reasonable semblance of logic and judgement to what you learn prior to your developing and opining your "jmo".
As it is you have a ways to go, e.g. Your most egregious statement recently made being your silly speculation about our hosts identity. Ridiculous!
Get a grip Gypsy....
