Mahalo a hundred million times to Randall Roth (“‘Going along to get along’ leads to government corruption,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, June 29). His description of corruption in the city and state is one that I wish would go viral.
When he tallied the numbers, I was incredulous. Knowing it as I do, case by case over a couple of years, one thinks the corruption is isolated. We forgot until he reminded us that Hawaii at all levels is politically highly corrupt.
I wish it could be reprinted every day, everywhere and all at once, and then collectively something might be done to stop the malignancy.
As newspapers are shutting down every week, I am grateful Hawaii at least has some journalists still on the payroll and the Star-Advertiser is still providing news seven days a week to report what is happening and thankfully, accepting guest commentaries.
