I know you feel that splitting the county is a good idea. But remember, that means double the govt workers and the cost of government. Plus it will take years to accomplish.

If you can give up your real estate salary in favor of a paltry Mayor's purse, maybe you would be more effective running for office. You seem to be able to organize the voters well enough.

The West Side of Hawaii voted for Pilago, Isbell, and Jacobson. We are getting what we deserve by voting for those 3 morons. Can you imagine if the outcome would have been Rathman, Rosner, and Bates (me). I only got 267 votes after slamming Bob Jacobson in EVERY SINGLE DEBATE. The voters are a big part of the problem.

Face it. We live on an island where liberalism reigns supreme. As long as that is the case, we should expect that government will be inept. At Hawaiithreads.com there is a message I wrote in one of the forums about splitting the county. I have pasted it below.

I am a West Hawaii Resident in South Kona. I ran for county council last go round against Bob Jacobson. Alas, the voters voted, and are getting what they want from Mr. Jacobson. Right? An evicted vice-chair who left his onions in his wife's purse.Other voters voted for Virginia Isbell over Joe Rosner. Rosner was clearly the best candidate in that race. I'm sure those Kona voters love the way Ms. Isbell sides with the Hilo Cartel. Right? A council person courting the Hilo vote so she can become Mayor.Still other North Kona voters voted for Angel Pilago over Jim Rathman. Angel has been instrumental in fostering the politics of "no". I'm so glad that North Kona voters are getting what they want. Right? A Pine-Trees activist trying to prevent his children from ever owning a home in West Hawaii.3 winning candidates from the West Side. 3 complete idiots imho.You can be dead certain that I won't be tossing my hat into the ring again anytime soon. At least not until the some of these old baby booming, liberal, dingbats start to die off.Listen to the youth. You might learn something.As far as splitting the county in two, I guess it's a wonderful idea that we have MORE govt workers. Brilliant !! A brief review of the fall of the Roman Empire would tell you that the more govt workers you have, the more likely your system will implode upon itself, and FAIL.Susan McGeachy is a fine woman. I know her personally. But she would be much more effective running for Mayor, than splitting the county.What say you Susan? Being Mayor, you might expect an enormous pay cut from your current real estate income. But money doesnt really matter in the face of altruism.I pray that Kelly Greenwell goes for it again. He was the best choice last time in the mayor's race also. West Hawaii Voters - LISTEN UP !!! You so don't get it that it's laughable. I know this is true. I am speaking from a "candidates" point of view.AlohaTim Bates
