We have way too many grifters serving us in Washington already, so why bring it home to Hawaii?

Former HTA board Chair Mufi Hannemann’s behavior is beyond suspect, and I believe he resigned before he was publicly caught red-handed. He has been shifting around from position to position for years. He and Kirk Caldwell swooped in with the obscene rail scheme and then quickly bailed, leaving the damage behind them.
Put the responsible audit of HTA’s financial findings “to bed”? Another attempt to sweep possible wrongdoings under the rug. Hawaii deserves better.
