PRP Buys Anti-Cayetano TV Ads

By /
Some interesting findings from the public files this week, as a pro-rail union group is stepping up its multi-pronged attack on the anti-rail candidacy of Ben Cayetano.

From today’s story by Sanjeev Ranabhat:

Civil Beat‘s latest analysis of the public files kept by TV stations shows that the Pacific Resource Partnership, the advocacy arm of the local carpenters union, paid $102,665 for 232 spots on the three Hawaii News Now stations, $52,550 for 96 spots on KHON2 and $27,860 for 127 spots on KITV. All of the 30-second ads will air beginning the last week of July through mid-August.
