While lobbying hard this year to garner city approval of its plan to redevelop the Moana Surfrider Hotel with a new highrise tower on Waikiki Beach, officials of Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts managed to find time to be active in the campaign of then-mayor Mufi Hannemann.

That’s one of the tidbits I gleaned from another look at Hannemann’s latest campaign spending report, covering the six-month period January-June 2010.

In March, Victor Kimura, a director and corporate officer of several Kyo-ya companies, paid $1,503 for campaign t-shirts and was reimbursed by the campaign.

On May 27, 2010, Hannemann’s campaign threw a $1,000 per person fundraiser at the home of Greg Dickhens, Kyo-ya executive vice-president, campaign records show. Several people were reimbursed for fundraiser food and drinks, including Keala Dickhens, Greg Dickhens’ wife; Robert Iopa, project architect for the company’s Waikiki tower; Adam Wong, who Hannemann appointed to the Board of Water Supply in early 2010; and event organizer William “Billy” Pieper, a Bank of Hawaii vice-president.

What’s most interest is the way the former mayor has been able to pool and draw on diverse resources, including some subsidized, at least indirectly, by public dollars.

Jay Ishibashi, special assistant in the office of the mayor and often a stand-in for Hannemann at public meetings, was reimbursed for parking, air cargo costs, supplies, postage, food, ice, and a video cable.

Trudy Saito, assistant managing director and a longtime Hannemann campaigner, was reimbursed for $3,225 paid for yard signs.

Other city employees include Brian Mick, community relations specialist for the Neighborhood Commission, who was reimbursed for food and drinks for a campaign event at the Pearl Lounge, candy for a July 4 parade, and $506 of stamps. Ken Shimizu, deputy director of environmental services in Hannemann’s administration, was paid back for sending packages for the campaign. Mel Kaku, emergency management director, was repaid for fundraiser supplies.

Another interesting crossover between the public arena and the Hannemann Campaign is the Pacific Century Fellows Program, backed by the nonprofit Fund for the Pacific Century.

Hannemann is credited with founding the fellows program, which offers an annual leadership development program for selected individuals.

It’s board of directors reads like a Hannemann campaign roster. Officers include Hannemann as chairman, along with Fran Kirk, Alan Kimi, Ken Wong, and Trudi Saito. All are also part of Hannemann’s campaign committee. Hannemann campaign chairman Dean Okimoto is also a director, along with others tied to Hannemann’s campaign.

Ken Wong, secretary of the Fund for the Pacific Century, paid for interisland airline tickets and was reimbursed by the campaign.

Peiper and Greg Dickhens were both among the 2008 Pacific Century Fellows, and now part of the Hannemann campaign.

Tax returns filed by the Fund for the Pacific Century do not indicate the sources of funds supporting the fellows program.

I’ve got to give Hannemann credit for pulling together these various public and private resources into a sophisticated campaign organization, but lots of questions are raised when you start connecting the dots.
