Memories in Hawaii, as in other places, can be long or short depending on the issue. When it involves politics, the memories are short. Thankfully, David Shapiro’s “Volcanic Ash” column on June 21 helped refresh our memory and provided ways to get free access to the 2006 book “Broken Trust: Greed, Mismanagement, and Manipulation of America’s Largest Charitable Trust.” I first read it years ago, and although it is written from one point of view, it is supported with evidence.
What is discouraging now is that the “bad guys” identified in the book must believe that memories are short, because some are once again running for public office promising all kinds of things they can’t produce. Before you vote, read the book.
