I forgot my last PunaWeb password, so I'll have to start this account from scratch. Does anyone know if its possible to retrieve a password? I didn't have much posted with that account, so I guess it's no real loss.
The State House of Representatives forum was put together very well. The Hawaiian Shores association did a great job.
As usual, I wasn't impressed by Faye. she's a sweet woman, but I don't think she can fulfill the responsibilities of Puna's Representative. We haven't seen anything come back to us this past session, which is a clear indicator that the position must be filled by someone else.
Anthony was articulate and sincere. I was impressed by his intelligence- his young age sure didn't prevent him from outshining the rest. I think he'll really earn Puna some respect in Honolulu. Imagine how astonished the other state Representatives will be to learn that what they considered a 'backwards district' produced this 'whiz kid'!
Steve has some great energy and ideas, although he seemed to have trouble articulating them. He dispensed some wrong statistics on food taxes during one of his responses (None of the other candidates corrected him, which probably means that they also had it wrong!) He does seem to be gaining some momentum, and I do believe that he would serve Puna better than Hanohano has.
Fred Blas seems to be a sharp and experienced guy, but he came across as slightly antagonistic in his speech (and at one point in the forum, he actually fell asleep in his chair.) I appreciated his energy (when he was not sleeping), although I was unimpressed by the group of supporters he brought. I'm always wary of candidates who feel the need to bring their own cheering sections with them.
Well, that was my humble old-fogey opinion. Do with it what you will.
