The fix was conclusively, definitely in. The fix is always in whenever any government insider is involved in anything. That is a certain US Senator's legacy, who fixed everything all the time. It's all rigged. Just ask any non insider native Hawaiian if the DHHL is rigged. This is just the tip of the corruption iceberg. Linda Lingle did a service when she appointed Mark Reckenwald to the state supreme court. She couldn't do anything with all federal stuff in the islands as this was the kuleana of the late senator. But Jeff Sessions fired the Inouye us attorney who hobbled the local fbi, whose charter is to prosecute white collar (read government) crime. This cowardly newspaper is dropping the ball by not investigating the multitude of insider Dem party union race based local corruption practices instead of waiting till the prosecution is in effect to report. Citizens rise up and expose everything corrupt, follow the example of Ken Conklin for one.....
