Hawaii Island Councilman J. Yoshimoto (East Hawaii) called a special council meeting for 4/13 for the purpose of voting to kill the pilot project for the Fair Elections.

This action alone speaks volumes about why we need this act in the first place and why many worked to get it.

Yes, this is probably as rotten as it appears. As a citizen of West Hawaii Island, we are quite used to special interest politics, none of which has ever favored the tax paying side of Hawaii Island.
