2015 MauiTime Year In Review

December 30, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

Well, another year’s in the books. On the whole, 2015 wasn’t any more disastrous or violent than any other recent year, I suppose (we did get a new Star Wars film out of it), though at times it certainly seemed otherwise.

2014 Hawaii Primary Election Endorsements

August 7, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 4 Comments

For us political junkies, the late summer of an even-numbered year is a magical time. Our airwaves, email and inboxes get jammed with misleading, often shameless propaganda. Battalions of volunteers line roadsides to wave colorful but still bland signs at passing motorists. And, for the true believers, forums pop up at community centers around the […]

Years ago, while covering one of then-Maui County Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson’s reelection campaigns, I made the mistake of asking her challenger what she disliked about Johnson’s record. “I love Jo Anne Johnson,” she said and refused to say anything bad about her opponent. Needless to say, Johnson won that race. At the Haiku Community […]

March 21, 2014 by Anthony Pignataro 15 Comments

So the County of Maui paid out $484,000 in overtime for Maui police officers last year, The Maui News reported on Mar. 20 (curiously, the story is not posted on their website). That’s nearly half a million bucks in Golden Time. For any manager in the private sector, justifying such expenses would pretty much be […]
