Kaipo must have closer to 25 by now. Most pensions are based on highest 2 or 3 year's pay. So any period where Kaipo doubles (or more) his current council salary should really bump up his take. Nice deal if you can get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-67942777486058374072008-07-03T15:16:00.000-10:002008-07-03T15:16:00.000-10:00Repub/Democrat -- it's all the same little crowd. ...Repub/Democrat -- it's all the same little crowd. They just change labels like a pair of socks when they don't get the nod. Kusaka was a D right up until she didn't get the nomination. Tokioka dropped the R like a hot rock when he ran for state house. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, there are too few wingnuts here to elect "real" republicans of the Gabbard variety. Unfortunately, most of the D's are conservative enough that they took in said same wingnut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-57564724898645261002008-07-03T10:55:00.000-10:002008-07-03T10:55:00.000-10:00We may see the end soon to the egomaniacal hoopla ...We may see the end soon to the egomaniacal hoopla from certain Councilmembers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-36615804243857010792008-07-03T09:25:00.000-10:002008-07-03T09:25:00.000-10:00I don’t know that voters even know who Gary Heu is...I don’t know that voters even know who Gary Heu is, or knew before his stint as Mayor. And yes, surprisingly enough Bernard was seen front and center in a photo in TGI receiving voting instructions at the Democratic presidential caucuses. That doesn’t mean though he won’t hire many of the same Baptiste cronies he’s worked with over the years<BR/><BR/>Someone elsewhere brought up an interesting thought- that Kaipo’s pension would shoot sky high with five months in the mayor’s seat- I believe it’s true from my memory of how the county pension system works. I’ll try to check it out.Andy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-63188898426462984742008-07-02T22:09:00.000-10:002008-07-02T22:09:00.000-10:00Bernard Carvalho is a Democrat.Bernard Carvalho is a Democrat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-74501472798072572272008-07-02T19:46:00.000-10:002008-07-02T19:46:00.000-10:00i believe gary will stick with the transition unti...i believe gary will stick with the transition until the 'new' mayor starts. mel's name is on the list of candidates. seems like the front runner. bernard inherits baptiste's legacy but that won't buy him much in today's political marketplace;he'd be better off running for council. jay and joann , if they choose to run, will be mel's most formidable opponents. should be interesting to say the least. opens up a few more seats for the council. bob cariffe has a better chance than ever. hope bruce pleas throws his name in the hat. look for john hoff signs to appear as well. maybe jonathan'what problem?'chun might get back into the swing of things with a thin herd of candidates vying for open council seats. lots of whispering at bryan's public services on sunday; his final kaleookauai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-88490772399604849002008-07-02T17:54:00.000-10:002008-07-02T17:54:00.000-10:00Bernard Carvalho will run for mayor, and he's a vi...Bernard Carvalho will run for mayor, and he's a viable Republican candidate, judging by Shaylene's showing in council elections.
