To hear Tam tell it, the consensus reality of the louder voices here on PW is not the objective reality on the ground.
Question #1: Punatang, can you provide several examples of what the louder voices say vs the reality on the ground?
Question #2: is there a middle ground, a candidate who can get elected by Puna voters, but also navigate the Hawaii political system and accomplish something other than paying Oahu consultants for plans and studies of Puna infrastructure needs, while little is actually built? That is, who will get money appropriated for Puna and spent in Puna?
