Kanaka, Nice try but attempting to hide this Caldwell failure from public conversation is too obvious.  

The Hauula fire station relocation controversy is a microcosm of Kirk Caldwell's mismanagement and lack of fiscal leadership in projects big and small.  Caldwell has a pattern of bullying, lying, rigging the process, and not listening to the most affected citizens. It's very obvious that "Pay to Play" Caldwell owes this $13M plum contract to someone. City Council deleted his $6.750M request.

Don't hear it from me; hear it from the Hauula Kupuna: 
"It’s pilau to abuse  (Federal) CDBG funds to hurt entrepreneurial options for low-and-moderate income Hau’ula by shutting these last two commercial-zoned parcels. This means that the economic opportunities are forever squashed. The welfare of this low-and-moderate income rural community worsens. HUD CDBG funds are meant to improve lives, not create more hardships and problems for its fund recipients."  http://countrytalkstory.com/?p=751
