Look at the usual "hotelier" talking head suspects (washed up politicians) and you KNOW they are full of CRAP. Add to that the part-time mayor's penchant for using "hoteliers" to support himself (Maxie the clueless police commission head, for one) and you just KNOW there's filth under the surface.
The HNL part-time mayor's arrogance and hubris have now been aired (more) publicly and the People of HNL need to REALIZE he needs TO GO. After this term is up (or before, wishfully) he needs to retire to his tax exempt "historical" home and never hold public office again. As a matter of fact, I can almost safely bet he'll end up with some overpaid tourist industry or "hotelier" job as a form of payback for his years of kow-towing.
