Sad for all of us, especially the Maui Time

This Magazine ultimately endorsed Wayne Nishiki because they were concerned about a $2,000 contribution to Don Couch's campaign from a developer. Now they write this article, without a retraction or even a mention of their ultimate support for Wayne. This is a sad day, because whether or not I agreed with their political stance, I have always trusted this publication's journalistic integrity. Despite its small staff and limited resources, they sought out and reported controversial issues for the public good. Yet this article, with its apparent attempt to be non-biased, instead makes me doubt Jacob's journalistic gravitis. Aren't you even a little bit concerned about Wayne's character when he blatantly lied to you? How is it acceptable to call the Liquor Commission out for their questionable integrity, whom you don't idealogically agree with, but when someone with a shared political stance was so obviously deceitful you give them a pass? Shame on you. Live your standards or lose this reader.
