The Pacific Resources Partnership (PRP) and their executive director, John White, has been strong supporters of the Honolulu Rail Project and believe that Rail is the best option for the residents of Oahu to fight traffic. As a result, the PRP are in direct opposition of Honolulu mayor candidate, former Governor Ben Cayetano. Cayetano has stated that if he is elected as mayor, he would do everything in his power to stop the Honolulu Rail Project.
Over the last few weeks, the Pacific Resources Partnership has launched an aggressive radio advertising campaign to discredit Ben Cayetano and have urged voters to “Read Ben’s Record” at www.readbensrecord.com According to the PRP, while governor of the state of Hawaii, Cayetano participated in a “pay-to-play” culture where groups had to illegally contibute to Cayetano’s campaign if they wanted to win no-bid government contracts.
In response, Cayetano’s supporters are scheduled to launch their own radio advertising campaign against the Pacific Resources Partnership and their executive director John White. It should be noted that the Campaign Spending Commission had cleared Cayetano of any wrongdoings. In fact, the former executive director of the Campaign Spending Commission, Bob Watada, stated that Cayetano was one of the most honest politicians in Hawaii.
