Lower your expectations and be ready for anything.
You would vote for someone just because they are Hawaiian??????? Why don’t you try and name her 5 major accomplishments over her 1st year. She spoke at the Hawaiian Island Contractors Association dinner last month and she sounded like a fool. She babbled about working as a team and that team spirit is the way to get things accomplished. That’s because she can’t get anything done on her own. She is a waste of time and our tax payers money! If I wasn’t a director of the board for HICA I would have stood up and asked her that question but I didn’t want to embarrass her in front of my other members, but hindsight tells me I should have.
Damon once again you indicate how out of touch you are on topics you reply to. Your question, Why Fred Blass”?
The Governor personally asked him to run for the position.
Fred was a top manager for Sears Automotive in San Diego for 13 years.
Went into his own tire business (Goodyear) he owned 7 stores and sold them to retire to the Big Island.
Took back Kahakai Park from the drug dealers and prostitutes that did business there. He cuts the grass and has local landscaper’s help for free to maintain the park.
He has built all the bus shelters on Kahakai for the kids waiting to go to school. He used his money or got donations from residents or local businesses. He is now working with HPP to do the same.
He is the president of the Hawaiian Beaches Action Committee that does things around our neighborhood.
He works on the Pahoa Beautification Project that keeps Pahoa clean and neat.
I don’t know if speaks the Hawaiian language or makes his own Poi but those things don’t carry much weight when you line the two up.
I could go on and on but I think you can see how inept Faye is when you compare the two candidates. I would love to see them debate.
