Is it just the say so of the one asking the question? The new current system seems to say that it just an arbitrary- and then probably capriccios- choice so as to make any distinction impossible. But there is a law saying “opinions” are public as opposed to advice on duties so it must mean something has to be an opinion. <BR/><BR/>Is it whether it’s in writing that makes the difference- that seems silly. It would seem that when the opinion regards public policy it is no longer a simple question on the official’s duties, which is a pretty limited term to begin with. <BR/><BR/>Do duties include politics? I don’t think so no matter how ubiquitous political considerations are in the performance of government officials. “Common sense” says political considerations it what is wrong in decision making not that it’s something we embrace- or should even put up with, human nature notwithstandingAndy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-19265167345552778182008-06-10T09:21:00.000-10:002008-06-10T09:21:00.000-10:00Bob Carriffe may just be the only one I’ll vote fo...Bob Carriffe may just be the only one I’ll vote for. I like his reason for running- so his wife will take him back. I remember being at Candidates Night at the County Fair a few years back and we left during the speeches and listened to it on the radio. Kaipo got up and told everyone we needed to spend $30 million for solid waste and talked for 10 minutes about landfills and such. the bob got up and promised to get rid of the mosquitoes. It was at that moment that I realized that to the uninformed voter listening on the radio the obvious choice for most malahini was Bob.<BR/><BR/>It send the message “you guys are such bozos I’d rather vote for a nut case”.Andy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-84780714015888591252008-06-09T16:48:00.000-10:002008-06-09T16:48:00.000-10:00That would be amusing.

The law provides too little too late in such circumstances. So who are our viable alternate candidates for the next council election? Shalene will account for at least one new slot.
