As clearly stated in the article, Ige stressed that he had played no DIRECT role in the new superintendent's selection or in the decision not to renew Matayoshi's contract.  Of course he played an INDIRECT role of appointing school board members who made these decisions.  Is LesterP contending that decisions like these should be made by the sitting governor rather than by the appointed board of education?  What exactly are you criticizing Ige for doing, or not doing, with respect to the replacement of Matayoshi with Kishimoto?
