According to a report released by the state of Hawaii’s Campaign Spending Commission, the pro-rail group, Pacific Resource Partnership PAC, spent over $3.2 million in advertising during the 2012 Mayor Election. As a comparison, the amount spent by the PRP was more then the two candidates spent combined. Mayor-elect Kirk Caldwell, a supporter of rail, spent $1.7 million, while former Governor Ben Cayetano, who vowed to end rail, spent $1.4 million. Cayetano, who lost the election, is currently suing the Pacific Resource Partnership for defamation, and alleges that the advertisements made were false and defamatory.
