In these final weeks of the election we appear to be seeing both Mayor Kenoi and his council buddies doing their best to come to the aid of Guy Enriques and Emily Naeole-Beason in the two council run off races.
Mayor Kenoi is floating a $56 million bond at council which is loaded with pork for Districts 5 & 6 though as presented there is nothing to ensure that the bond money will go to the stated projects. It is telling that in the list of priorities the Mayor listed there is nothing at all for Dominic Yagong's District 1. When a motion was made at council to actually have these proposed bond funds be tied to the projects that motion was voted down with the help of Enriques and Naeole-Beason.
Now in today's Tribune-Herald we learn that efforts by Dennis Onishi, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, are apparently slowing down the controversial Kamaoa Road process till after the election.

Novice Dennis Onishi, a first term councilman chosen to head the Finance committee, is quoted as saying "his unfamiliarity with the scheduling process led to the delays". Yeah, nothing like using not knowing what the heck you are doing as cover.
Not much of a surprise I guess. Kenoi, Enriques, Naeole-Beason, Onishi and Yoshimoto are likely the most anti community bunch we have ever had in county government. With Kenoi at the top.
Just my opinion of course.

Assume the best and ask questions.
