Don't forget, Ige was the head of Pihana Pacific, and he ran that into the ground.  His puppetmaster Ariyoshi even tried to sue the buyers for millions and they lost that suit big-time.  The buyers were able to turn the company around and sold it for hundreds of millions.  Ige was appointed to the Leg. while he worked for Hawaiian Tel as a lobbyist in a blatant conflict of interest.  Can't understand why Ige himself or people think or believe that Ige was a real engineer.  That is an insult to real engineers.
