There are several core issues here:

1. The overall qualifications & general working experiences of all the candidates along with the record of the incumbent as well as the proposed changes each would bring to the table;

2. Renewable energy issues – including costs & profits, distribution, cultural & environmental concerns, and the the possible/potential role that state and county agencies may play in approving/disapproving permits;

3. The flawed election process still in play, hampering voters but empowering incumbents.

Ian, did you bother to vet Haunani’s supporters? Actually, it is a rhetorical question. You didnt or know and wont tell. making you the only reporter in the State to invoke naivete on Apoliona. Sad to see you co-opted bud.

1. The overall qualifications & general working experiences of the two leading candidates along with the record of the incumbent as well as the proposed changes each would bring to the table;

Although the courts have ruled that all qualified Hawai`i voters can take part in OHA elections, I have never done so until now. I plan to do so later on today because this time the above issues will impact me personally & professionally.
