Corruption comes in many forms. 

What Caldwell is doing is not traditional stealing but rather in-your-face, unethical actions which he's spun and his supporters are covering for. 

Seriously...could he (or anyone else on this rock) have gotten this too sweet gig were he NOT the mayor??? Is he useful to the bank as an "average Joe"? Does he and the bank think we're all so blatantly stupid? They must or they wouldn't have done it right?

In some other regions (Singapore is first to come to mind) they pay government officials along the lines of corporate executives in order to keep the temptation of corruption at bay. Is the salary Caldwell receives not enough for full time, dedicated work??? I'd rather think anything six figures in Hawaii is not unreasonable...especially if one has saved thousands over the years in property taxes with an "historic home".

This needs to be a frontline issue alongside the fiasco choo choo.
