Ian Lind,  some parts of your article are inaccurate and misleading.  For example,  the statement below:

"Trask was endorsed by trustee Robert Lindsey, who was later elected chairman of OHA’s board of trustees. This year, she is returning the favor by trying to unseat Lindsey, who is finishing his second term as trustee representing Hawaii Island."  

For the record, Bob Lindsey told Mililani Trask he was NOT going to run again, and wanted to spend more time with family.  HE told her to run  (prior to his health issues; a couple years ago)!  Additionally, some of your past articles are swayed in favor Haunani Apoliona, who is known to be a friend of yours, while you continue to demean Mililani Trask (last election, when Cal Lee ran, too). 

Further,  facts should be checked prior to writing an article during campaign season, in order to preserve the integrity of Civil Beat, and your own credibility as a journalist.  Propoganda at it's best, Sir.
