The time to vote for Dr. Panos Prevedouros as the next mayor for the City & County of Honolulu is today. The voting process has already begun with both mail-in and walk-in absentee voting taking place now to a few days before the official primary election day of September 20.
Dr. Panos Prevedouros is a long shot newbie to the political process but I am sure if elected he will do good job for the city as he brings in a fresh new perspective and approach into changing things for the better.
Voting for Dr. Prevedouros is our best chance to stop Honolulu's massively expensive railroad project. The $6.4 billion proposal to build a fixed rail system through most of Honolulu will be disruptively expensive for all taxpayers, property owners and businesses as funding for this system will severely eat into our incomes from now until forever. Dr. Prevedouros stated in the Honolulu Advertiser's Elections Guide:
"Elevated rail costing well over six billion is a political plot, not a transportation plan. Rail is a black hole of heavy taxes. Traffic congestion and carbon footprint with rail in 2030 will be far worse than they are today. I will replace the rail program with effective, affordable solutions including a high occupancy expressway, bus rapid transit, underpasses and intelligent traffic lights."
While I am not the biggest supporter of BRT or toll lanes, I fully support ending the expensive rail project before anything is built. We must save our tax money to use to fix various infrastructure like roads and sewers vs. building a "choo choo train".
Dr. Prevedouros is not a one-issue candidate as he vows to take on the city's infrastructure problems from an engineering point of view. He cites examples of engineers who have been political leaders:
"Do you need it, can you afford it, can you maintain it. No, no and no. Politicians talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Oahu needs an engineer. Tucson, Arizona has a great mayor who is an engineer. Johnny Wilson, a civil engineer, was Honolulu mayor for many years. Professor Prevedouros wants to fix Oahu's problems: Congested traffic, aging sewers, leaky water pipes, dilapidated roads."
For these reasons and many others, I again urge support through your vote for Dr. Panos Prevedouros. You can learn more about Dr. Prevedouros by visiting his website and blog where numerous articles and links to more information are published.
Don't forget to vote... by absentee now or by going to the polls on September 20. Make your mark for Dr. Panos Prevdouros for real change that we can afford.
The time to Dump Mufi is now. Vote Panos Prevedouros for Mayor!
