Excerpt:

One key indicator to us of Hannemann’s ability to work cooperatively was his endorsement by the last three mayors of Maui County — James “Kimo” Apana, Charmaine Tavares and Alan Arakawa. Now those three politicos may not agree on a lot of things, but one thing they did agree on was they enjoyed working with Mufi to find solutions for Hawaii’s counties.

Hannemann’s opponents all seem to be fine candidates with decent credentials. But they don’t compare to Mufi’s.
