In retrospect, if any of the Council people had joined Margaret Willie and done their job, we wouldn't be dealing with this because as an impeached Mayor he wouldn't have been representing the Big Island at the Hawaii Congress of Planning Officials Conference.
The Mayor admitted to the County Council that he did something wrong when he misused his pCard on personal items which is a breach of his fiduciary responsibilities and the Council decided to let him off the hook. These so called professionals are making a mockery of the state constitution, the Hawaii County Charter and our Hawaiian codes and somehow they are able to get away with it. I expect these elected officers to take serious the obligations they are under to serve the public with the highest ethics in discharging the duties of their respective office. The highest standards. Not the lowest. I believe these obligations are real and not imaginary, theoretical concepts. I wonder what material the County Council thinks is impeachable?
The Mayor has a staff of really talented people who are suppose to know the job and who get paid almost as much as the Mayor to keep him out of jail. Billy corrupted them too. Nobody thought they had to follow the law. Just follow Billy. Billy the Goat Kenoi. We should stop electing our pubic officials as if we're holding a beauty contest.
Bottom line is that our Mayor has a visible and noticeable drug/alcohol problem. I suggest that Billy check into rehab and get some help. As time goes on it becomes abundantly clear that the County Council and the Ethics Board have failed the people by refusing to do their duty in exercising their right to investigate the Billy Kenoi pCard matter.
