the mayor's many positive accomplishments during his two terms as Hawaii County Mayor... helping to... take back Mauna Kea from hostile foreigner's,
Would you include as part of his accomplishments the effort to combat ROD, as you observed:
This kind of binge drinking by our Mayor does help explain to "me" why the ROD never got the attention it deserved back in 2010-11.
Do you consider the mayors accomplishment in taking a square mile on Mauna Kea from "hostile foreigners" a reasonable trade off for the loss of culturally significant native Hawaiian Ohia forests over a far, far larger area, on an order of magnitude hundreds if not thousands of times larger, and the loss of all the native Hawaiian birds that lived in those forested areas? As well as the affect on Native Hawaiian people who live there as well?
