text: My problem is Nick's attack on three retired Hawaii state judges who have served our community honorably and continue to serve our city as members on the City Ethics Commission. Grube in one fell swoop demoted each judge to stooges for the mayor. He furthered his case by mentioning Judge Amano has a potential conflict of interest for purchasing an $85 a year family membership with the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center which allows free admission to the astronomy center and discounts at the center restaurant and gift shop yet fails to mention: The DLNR Board stated, "No reasonable person would infer that the possibility of the "benefit" ('Imiloa family membership) would override the hearing officer's duty of make impartial recommendations to the Board." This is a case of shaving a square peg to fit into a round hole of a story by creating suspicions about three public servants giving their time for our benefit.
