In Honolulu, our Mayor is totally corrupt. He doles out huge public works contracts to private companies that have donated to him. He had to drop out of the governors race because of his scandals.

Our governor, although she is a Republican, is not really corrupt. At times, she can be intelectually dishonest, but I don't think she would actually cook the books or anything.

Our Democratic party has been taking some hits here lately. Four Democrats in office, two city councilmembers, a state senator, and some junior city officials have gone to jail ranging from campaign finance violations and conflict of interests. Our Democratic party is LUCKY that they have a strong backbone of support from the people on the issues.

Although our governor is not really corrupt, the people who support her are. They are anti-environment and anti-Hawaiian culture here. Like other regions in the nation, Hawaii has its own culture really. They are mostly rich white people from Orange County and Texas who want to change the status-quo here, which is not good at all. They build their large multi-million dollar houses on the beach and use up all the water for their waterfalls. So our governor is not corrupt, it is the people that support her that are.
