Using one email address for all emails for "convenience"....was this not the topic of a huge story on the national scene for months and it takes a Hawaii Ethics Commission decision for Mr. Apo to figure out it is a violation?  Does the "no intention of stopping" apply to the email issue as well.  

Mr. Apo's name recognition, as a former legislator, current Trustee with OHA (whch has its own ethics issues), his involvement in the many public and private endeavors (telescope, etc., etc.)  and the "considerable body of work" he touts, HAS benefitted his company, whether that was the intention or not.    

What is woefully missing here is the understanding by those in public service that they have an obligation to those they serve.  Somehow the importance of integrity in ALL of their dealings, if it existed in their view in the beginning, has a way of gradually being compromised.  Those in positions of power often forget they have a duty to those who put them in those positions.
