August 8, 2026 Primary Election Results

[HiloJulie]

HiloJulie - Well, it looks like Greggor has found what will no doubt end up being his lifelong career sucking the taxpayer teat
Or Tam could, you know, run for County Council and prove he has more than big AI generated ideas and can actually get things done on a local level before running for state office again. You know, prove you can be a team player and help win at the local games before thinking you're minor league material.

I guess in order to be a career politician, of which, I just don't see in Tam, but, hey when you are right Yak, you're right, it worked and works for Greggor. Start at the bottom rung, make some friends, run for the next higher office, get elected to that and then become as quiet as a church mouse and BINGO, get reelected! And reelected. And reelected.

While I am sure you and a few others enjoyed ripping on Tam and holding him to a much higher bar that has to be about 20 miles higher than the highest bar Greggor ever had to pass under in his life, well, it worked. For you AND Greggor.

Name one position, outside of his well repeated, handler prepared text statement of being "pro geo" as "long as it's done right" that Greggor has ever made. I won't bother waiting for a reply on that, as there simply is no reply that can be made. But for Tam, no, you and others, had to try and make Tam separate the fly shit from the pepper, over and over and over. 

And then, voter turnout. In as much as I can't think of ANYTHING I'd ever agree with Brenton Awa on, but, again, when someone is right, they are right - I have to agree with him 100% with this comment:

"Currently, about 1 in 5 people choose the winner in a lot of these higher office seats. So essentially a few of us is making the decisions for all of us and it doesn't have to be this way."

Could it be that maybe, as Rob says "Meanwhile the CoH Planning Department keeps Puna kinda barefoot and pregnant..." is because the 2,466 people who voted for Greggor (out of the 40ish thousand residents) want to keep Puna barefoot and pregnant?
