Election

Gabbard officially announces presidential run, NBC News reports Russian support

February 7, 2019 by Axel Beers Leave a Comment

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-2nd District) officially announced her run for the presidency last weekend, the same week Politico reported on the departure of her campaign manager and the campaign’s messy lead-up to the unplanned “unofficial” candidacy announcement on a Jan. 11 episode of CNN’s Van Jones Show. The launch event was held in Waikiki, and […]

Kula Community Assoc. 2016 Maui election forum

May 17, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Though the filing deadline for the Maui County candidates in the 2016 election is still a couple weeks away (June 7), a few races already loom large on the political radar. There are a lot of candidates out there and a ton of issues. But the Kula Community Association wants to help you this Wednesday, May 18 […]

We also listened to the secret 2013 recording of Mayor Alan Arakawa’s aides but we just thought it was pathetic

October 12, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 6 Comments

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in Mayor Alan Arakawa’s 9th Floor county office today. You guys saw The Maui News’ huge front-page story yesterday on the dramatic Mar. 5, 2013 meeting at Starbucks in Kahului between then-Maui Film Commissioner Harry Donenfeld (who secretly recorded the meeting because he was worried about his job) […]

Keith Regan holding fundraiser at Maui County Corp Counsel Pat Wong’s house

July 31, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

We have more than a year to go before the 2016 elections get here, but County of Maui Managing Director Keith Regan isn’t wasting any time. Regan, who’s running for the Maui County Council seat currently held by Mike Victorino (who’s prevented from running again in 2016 because of term limits), recently filed papers announcing […]

This Wednesday, Nov. 19: GMO Free Maui Plans Big Monsanto Protest In North Kihei

November 18, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 13 Comments

For those heavily involved in the war over the growing of genetically engineered seeds in Maui County, we seem to suddenly find ourselves in a quiet time. The ballot initiative that would place a moratorium on the cultivation of GMO seeds until the completion of health and safety studies passed narrowly in the recent election, […]

Who wants to read complaint letters against MauiTime? You do, of course!

November 6, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 9 Comments

READER INITIATIVE [Editor’s note: the following letters on our Oct. 30, 2014 Election Issue recommendation to vote no on the Maui GMO Initiative are just those that were sent to us directly–we received many more comments on our Mauifeed.com blog and Facebook page.] As a retired high school administrator, I am aghast at your paper […]

Maui County GMO Ballot Initiative Passes; Monsanto Vows Lawsuit

November 5, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 81 Comments

Now that’s what I call an election. And yes, the voter initiative to bring about a “moratorium” on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the county passed. It was a real nail-biter, too. The first batch of votes (released around 7:30 or so) showed the initiative failing by nearly 20 percentage points. But when the state Office […]

Damn, Hawaii Carpenters STILL Hate Maui Councilmember Elle Cochran

October 28, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 9 Comments

We finally got some new numbers out of the state Campaign Spending Commission this week–the first time since the Primary Election, in fact. Because really, during the final two and a half months of an election, do voters really need to see what various candidates and Political Action Committees (PACs) are spending and collecting? Anyway, […]

Election Wit & Wisdom From The Late Blackie Gadarian

October 21, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 27 Comments

Arsene “Blackie” Gardarian did many things on Maui: bar owner, machinist, jazz enthusiast, county liquor commissioner, curmudgeon. It was in that last role that he really seemed to shine. In fact, Gadarian was

Election Wit & Wisdom From The Late Blackie Gadarian

October 21, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 27 Comments

Arsene “Blackie” Gardarian did many things on Maui: bar owner, machinist, jazz enthusiast, county liquor commissioner, curmudgeon. It was in that last role that he really seemed to shine. In fact, Gadarian was an inveterate letter writer–mostly to The Maui News. He passed away in 2013 at the age of 91, but his wife Sara recently […]

Maui County Mayor, Councilmember Throw Hissy Fits Over Garbage

September 3, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

You have no idea how much I love this election. Not the national races or the four-way race to be governor–those are dull beyond belief. No, I’m talking about the Maui County Council elections–specifically, Mayor Alan Arakawa’s and Councilman Mike White’s reelection fights. The best part is that Arakawa and White (who’s running a tough […]

Maui County Councilman Riki Hokama To Hold Big Money Fundraiser In Honolulu

August 18, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

State Campaign Spending Commission (CSC) records show that Maui County Councilman Riki Hokama has held one fundraiser in the last two years. It was a modest $50/head deal at the Maui Beach Hotel on June 26, 2013. This isn’t surprising considering that the councilman who represents Lanai rarely has to campaign for office (he’s unopposed […]

Washington Post Says Hawaii Election Polling Is ‘Notoriously Unreliable’

August 4, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 2 Comments

Well, this is it–the final week before the Hawaii Primary Election on Aug. 9. So who’s going to win? Depends on which candidate you ask, or which poll you read. And if it seems to you that polls around here–which, right now, seem to show both incumbent U.S. Senator Brian Schatz and challenger Rep. Colleen Hanabusa […]

This Tuesday, July 15: Maui County Mayoral Race Candidates Forum

July 11, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Thursday, July 10 was the deadline for Hawaii candidates running in the August Primary Election to get their first campaign finance disclosure forms over to the state Campaign Spending Commission. According to the filings, which cover Jan. 1 through June 30 of this year, there is a little more than $359,000 in the collective coffers of […]
