"Nattering nabobs of negativism."
I just love the yummy irony of someone using that phrase to describe a frequent critic of our county government. It was first uttered publicly by Spiro T. Agnew. Remember him? He was Nixon's Vice President who resigned in disgrace and pleaded guilty to fraud and tax evasion in relation to a Baltimore County, Maryland contracting scandal. Yes, a county government scandal! You can't make this up.
And to bluesboy, it's everyone's business when we have a local government so inept it takes a year to get a urinal permitted. I'd love to hear what Sal Luquin has to say privately about the county, as he's obviously way too smart to say what he really thinks to the newspaper. And Luquin's situation is just the tip of the incompetence, nepotism, laziness, and outright corruption iceberg in county government. Maybe when the Federal prosecutors finish with the Honolulu Police Chief and Prosecutor's office, they can come over here and take a look around.
