Rob, you asked a question that many people are asking. Should the next question be, "What has our Puna County Council member brought home to Puna in the last 2 years?"
If it's OK, how about an answer to the first question, first?
Lest Rob's very good point is lost.
Any vote by any elected official needs to be clearly explained to any citizen who wants to know.
...
"brought home"?
$? or something else?
While I have not been keeping a running tally of District expenditure by my Council member (have you, Kale?), I do recall a good bit of $ getting sent this way. Simple way for the doubtful to find out -- look at the CRF$, look at budget amendment$, look at capital funding $, etc. and see. Then dark accusations are replaced by putting light on fact.
Rather than get drawn further into addressing negative conjecture I'll put a separate thread about this...there is a lot on the $ in/out of Puna to talk about.
