(20,556 posts)Gets better every time Duke Aiona speaks. He can't put two sentances together.
For instance, Here's what he said in answer to Mahealani Richardson's question, "should the city have more control of Kakaako?" in a televised debate:
"You know, if you go back to the history of the Kakaako development
district you're going to find out that it was a political division that
started it way back in 1974. It kind of behooves me that if that were
the right place for it to be, if politics were set aside, then why are
we now 30-40 years down the line and we're talking about something
especially and only after we have now movement within the Kaka'ako
district. Up until this time it was pretty stagnant with regard to
movement back and forth."
(WHAT?? Also: behooves.)
"...it was the Legislature that put a moratorium on the Kaka'ako makai
side (development) that handcuffed and stifled the executive branch and
took them out of the conversation, ...down to three names submitted by
the legislature, but this is what I would do, is first and
foremost...here's the direction, let's move the bar up to 30%
affordability requirement...not for 10 or 15 years but generations, 60
years, 30 years, but not constantly have these loopholes
" (the first
paragraph is exact; this paragraph is abreviated and not exact.)
Last poll I read showed David up by ten points. If Mufi is peeling votes from anybody, it's Duke.
How's he doing on Kaua'I?
