Interesting juxtaposition here:

Dumb question: what's to "mull", and why are these meetings not required to abide by the Sunshine Law?

Dumber question: why is a Honolulu PAC spending $1M to sway council races on the outer isands? (Yeah, I know, "total world domination" or some such.)
Somehow "we the people" are supposed to believe "the system works" and that "rules are for everyone", but the various "electoral irregularities" suggest otherwise.

How convenient for everyone involved! Of course I'm left wondering whether the "technicality" would be measured "the other way" if someone didn't like Gonzales... obviously there's a clique, and it's not just in Puna.

Hawaii County Board of Registration ... saying the paperwork arrived too late.
appellants cried foul, saying the deadline applied to the date of the postmark, not the day the appeal was received.

Conspiracy theorists can not and will not be denied....since it's a conspiracy that their tilting against and therefore nearly impossible to determine (the "who"in the conspiracy, that is).
However, if you compare the Tribs (a usual suspect in conspiracies) column inches on the Gonzales matter and the issue of his residency to the TEH matter you'll see no conspiracy of "silence" to Gonzales benefit. He has come across very poorly in the Tribs slant to an impartial observer of that race and I would be shocked if he won this election. As well, there will be plenty of time to challenge the decision should he be elected, and no reason to if he should fail since their would be no harm to the electorate.
The TEH residency/registration issue is a bit more complicated due to it's longer history. I believe the Trib has been fair to her, perhaps to a fault, depending on what is revealed in the future.
Well, looks like this is over.
How many think he is moving his family to Waikoloa Village now?
Actually, he could have been a legit reisident, if he had been willing to move his family to Waikoloa Village in prep for the campaign.
The Gonzales case and Hunt case are apples and oranges.
His attorney is Lincoln Ashida, and hers is Steve Strauss. [:p]

Well, looks like this is over.
The lack of precedent-setting decision means we'll get to revisit this in the next election.
(I really wanted to vote TEH, but I forgot to lie about my residency before the deadline...)
