Overall, another win for consensus reality and incumbents (Joy, Greggor, Green, Kawakami, etc). No matter how vocal the local facebook crowd, they still just can't actualize their visions into widespread consciousness, whether it be stopping the County Council Agenda 2045 for taking their trucks or convincing everyone that the black helicopters are coming for their water catchments. But hey, Ed Case unfortunately won his primary so I feel for them - can only keep hoping and dreaming for a better tomorrow where the da kine is decriminalized and bamboo hempcrete microhousing is on every lot (anyone actually get to work with hempcrete? Ran across a couple example projects on Maui and a recent project up Waimea way)
County Council has a handful of close calls for Puna district that'll likely lead to a recount in District 5 where Matson, Rodenhurst, and Mrs. Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder are all within 50 votes (maybe those missing 19,000 ballots will finally be found? ;) and a head-to-head contest in the Nov. 3 general election for District 4 between Eileen O'Hara and Lloyd Enriquez (be interesting to see Cyd and Smiley's endorsements going forward).
