Honolulu District 1 Candidate Forum, December 13

All 14 Honolulu County District 1 councilmember candidates are scheduled to participate in a forum at the Waianae Satellite Office Multipurpose Room, 85-670 Farrington Hwy, Waianae, HI 96792, on Monday, December 13, 2010. District 1 is the west side of Oahu, consisting of Ewa, Ewa Beach, Honouliuli, West Loch, Kapolei, Kalaeloa (Barber's Point), Honokai Hale and Nanakai Gardens, Ko'Olina, Nanakuli, Wai'anae, Makaha, Keaau, and Makua.

The forum will be livestreamed at http://www.thehawaiiindependent.com/, provided the wireless operates properly.

Questions for the candidates can be submitted in advance here.

This race is important to not only District 1 residents, but all of Hawaii, and in particular those on Oahu. D R Horton, a Mainland outfit, wants some of the world's best agricultural land, located in District 1, destroyed forever by their Hoopili development. To do this, they must go through the City Council, which can stop them. The rail project, which is the most expensive per capita in the nation, will be deliberated on by the Council, where what's truly best for the people, rather than what will line the pockets of special interests, just might be considered, with whom District 1 voters elect being a significant factor.
