For the past 7 years I was a citizen participant at City Hall and I can say that Peter Carlisle's short term as Mayor of Honolulu provided a much more open and responsive culture than Kirk Caldwell.

Carlisle's Managing Director was always at hand to answer questions at City Council meetings and courteous to the public.  In fact, they made the effort to welcome citizens to Honolulu Hale and definitely did not demean or behave rudely to public participants.

Kirk Caldwell is too much of a "PAY TO PLAY" Mayor who has no qualms about bullying and abusing his office to achieve his personal agenda. Many times, Caldwell was unnecessarily uncooperative and untruthful in his dealings with the City Council to try to promote himself and his personal agenda. Caldwell does not deserve another 4 years at City Hall.
