Thanks, WNW! The link worked for me. Although Ikaika got his point across, it was much too rambling and long. He seemed to be reading from something that Eileen had written or posted somewhere, so I'd like to see that, too, if possible. I know it won't change anything, but I am curious. Thanks again.
Chunkster, I agree...it is rambling.
I have been wading through the posts, and haven't located the exact post from Eileen yet, but I am pasting a post from Dane Dupont who includes part of Eileen's post in his post.
Dane DuPont
Dane and 2 others manage the membership, moderators, settings, and posts for Hawaii Tracker.
I want to mention why Councilwoman Eileen Ohara's accusations about Ashley Kierkiewicz and the Hub are still up on Hawaii Tracker, and why I am going to post a section of Eileen's original comment here, as it is buried in a comment section of another post.
I believe firmly in documenting actions taken by elected officials and accountability, that there are different standards for public servants. I could have removed Eileen's attack comment from Hawaii Tracker when I first saw the inflammatory message that makes accusations towards the volunteer group at the Hub. However, with the election only 24hrs away now I feel this is one of those pivotal points. I won't tell you who to vote for, that is your decision... I will say this; if these comments were made by a member of Hawaii Tracker not in public office I would have deleted the comment and considered removing the member from the group...
"The candidate you're supporting has no experience, doesn't know what a public/private partnership actually is (I've put together multiple such projects and brought millions of dollars to the Big Island for example the Big Island Biodiesel plant in Shipman Park where I served as business specialist to put together $15M in public/private partnership funding).
Also, you won't find my name in the E-court records for 3rd degree assault in a domestic violence case like you can for my opponent who, as an adult, beat up a family member. Sorry, that isn't classy. As far as her efforts to build transitional housing, that has so far been shut down by County for bulldozing without permits. The plan calls for building platforms on which tents can be erected. Not a plan the County will likely permit! So far, Puuhonua o Puna claims they haven't expended any money on evacuees, yet there is no accounting of donations .....they're basically attempting to regroup at this point, but they have no long term stated goals or mission. I wish them the best as there are many very good people involved, but using that effort as a springboard to get elected as a career politician also means you have to take responsibility for mistakes made. When 4 loads of donations to Bodacious Women were hijacked by Puuhonua o Puna, my opponent was contacted but chose not to make it pono. That also isn't classy and presents some questions about ethical behavior." ~ Eileen Ohara (8.8.2018)
