The 'best-connected journalist' in Puna.
-- Hawaii Island Journal

I was a reporter for close to 17 years at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald until October 2005, when I joined the growing ranks of union leaders now formerly employed by the newspaper. (For more about what's happening at the Tribune-Herald, check out the Hawaii Newspaper Guild web site.) Since then I've been the Hilo unit representative for the Guild, a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger. Puna has been my family's home since 1993.
There's a mayor's campaign forum today at Connections charter school in the Kress Building in downtown Hilo. Inouye, Higa, Pilago and others are expected to be there -- but not Kenoi, as I understand it. It's open to the public and starts at 1 p.m. It's right around the corner from my office so I guess that's where I'll take my lunch.

Billy Kenoi attended the Kona Mayoral Forum on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 as did other Mayoral candidates. He regretfully could not attend the Mayoral Forum held on May 15, 2008 at the Connections Charter School as he had a previous engagement on the mainland. He will be attending all of the other Mayoral Candidate Forums throughout the Island until Election Day.
We will be adding a link to the video feed of the Kona Forum on to our website at www.billykenoi.com for those who wish to view it.
