A West Virginia-based group registered to the former treasurer of Kanye West’s presidential campaign is sending thousands of dollars to a PAC funding Hawaiʻi candidates.

The court ruled candidates Trevor Ozawa and Tara Malia Gregory should be placed on the ballot this fall. Tommy Waters is not allowed to run this time.

For a third time, Tommy Waters and Trevor Ozawa are in court fighting over the East Honolulu city council seat.

The Honolulu ethics director says elected officials should not send printed newsletters to constituents within 60 days of elections.

Violators could be fined up to $2,000 or jailed for up to a month if found with shopping carts under this proposal.

Tommy Waters was the second highest vote-getter but was deemed ineligible after ballots had already gone out.

The decision follows a Circuit Court ruling stating the council chair could not seek a third term. But another legal challenge may be coming.

It’s unclear what this means for voters who have already voted for Tommy Waters in the primary election.

The Blangiardi administration is concerned about a significant hit to city revenue.
