Not so fast here! Why vote for an incumbent elected official with no political skills or vision just because of one vote, especially in light of the fact that she did her best to shoot down the biggest thing to ever come out of Puna, the PCDP, and in doing so demonstrated once again that she has no interest whatsoever in listening to the views of her constituents. She has apparently aligned herself with Higa and Bill Walter of Shipman, neither of whom have any concern for Puna. Ms Naeole is a wonderful woman and an excellent community activist but is simply not up to the task of representing her community in a high stakes political arena. Lets thank the powers that be that Jacobson, Pilago, Ford, Hoffman and Yagong are looking out for our interests at council because our own representative is missing in action. If Puna is ever going to get it's due it won't happen until someone else occupies our council seat, someone who can work with the the other districts, their representatives and the mayor's office and accurately assess the needs and desires of our district.
