" It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.  Signifying nothing."    — Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5)

Political posturing, the local elites jostling each other for a moment in the limelight.  Since the merger was announced they have all agreed that the dreaded Mainlanders will not acquire the cash cow that is Hawaiian Electric.  It must be milked locally, by locals, for locals.

I cannot wait for Act 2 of this melodrama. " The Municipal Utility", owned and operated by the same geniuses  who are responsible for The Rail, The Zoo, and The HPD.
