I still think gravitating towards support for Kalei Akaka because of a single line of outright support for one issue is a bit shortsighted...HOTPE's Trustee Candidates Who Support the TMT myopic view on things.
In my post above describing the OHA candidates meeting, it was pointed out that:
Aila kept getting interrupted by the audience yelling “auwe” and “hewa” and “ku kiai mauna!”
In fact, many people on boards, at hearings, running for office, and PUEO, have been treated similarly because of audience members who objected to a single stance, their support for the TMT. It seems fairly common on this issue, some were even shouted down and unable to complete a sentence. Did the listeners ask to hear their other views? Is that OK? Or is it only shortsighted when I post a thread about the topic?
If you read my OP, I didn’t recommend any candidate, I simply provided information about their stand on the TMT for anyone who might consider it an important factor in their decision when they vote. You on the other hand took it upon yourself to endorse a specific contender for the seat, going so far as to suggest she’s “better” - Esther Kia'aina, is by far more qualified... I think Esther is a much better candidate
