We have a great former council member who is running for the South Maui council seat this year. Wayne Nishiki has a proven record of advocating for smart growth, smart planning, caring for our oceans and our precious, fragile environment. We are fortunate that he is willing to take this tough job of councilperson again.
He was always standing up against these big money corporations that seem to think they own this island. He had a strict policy about not meeting with anyone behind closed doors, stating that any big decisions should be made before the public. He does not take any campaign contributions from big developers, unlike some of the other candidates who do and then feel obligated to their contributors when big planning decisions need to be made.
Let’s get out and vote Nov. 4 and support Wayne Nishiki, who has proven that he has Maui’s best interest in mind and not the best interests of the few.
Maui can’t afford to have people sitting on the council that are willing to compromise the beauty and the lifestyle of the place we love.
Enough damage has been done.
