Taking a serious look at the "dark horse" candidate - From Brad C.

Like many others, I have recently been taking a much more serious look at the “dark horse” mayoral candidacy of Dr. Panos Prevedouros.

Ironically, I am much closer on a personal level to former Prosecutor Peter Carlisle since we were both contemporaries at UCLA Law School and have been friends for nearly…

Panos on City Problems. Sensible Solutions.

PROBLEM – Sewers Consent Decree with EPA Will Cost Over $7 Billion If Done by the City

SOLUTION – A Public Private Partnership for reconstruction, maintenance and operation to infuse private capital, to share risk and to operate sewers like a utility. With PPP, construction costs decrease, quality and timeliness improve. Better management. Bottom line: lower monthly bills and better infrastructure.…

Let's save O'ahu for our families and future generations.

Thomas, Nick and Katy Gambino

We love our island home and are terrified of where our current politicians are taking us.

Panos is an anti politician and the only hope for our city to solve its myriad problems. He will stop the $6 billion rail fiasco and redirect funds to common sense solutions.

Let's save O'ahu for our families and future…

The Courage of his Convictions

Dale Evans, President

Owner, Charley's Taxi and Limousine

I believe in Panos Prevedouros.

Panos has the courage of his convictions to stake his name and reputation to tell the people that rail is the wrong project for the wrong place.

In recent years, I have observed Panos’ determination and foresight to make things right for the aina and for the… Continue

A Mistake We Can't Afford to Make

My first thought of the unwise and unsightly Rail Project was that it was a mistake we can't afford to make, a chance we literally can't afford to take. Panos' professional unbiased statistics educated me on the Rail… Continue

Rail on a nice day..... photo. So what happens when it's RAINING??

Ups ! I guess the City forgot that one year it rained on Oahu for 41 days in a row. It was horrible.

So, if Rail is supposed to convince people to leave their cars home (or not own one), and use the Rail to get places.... what happens when it rains? Same thing that happens on The…

Recent Poll shows us ahead by over 50 points.

While we love the results of this poll, we don't really believe we're ahead by 50 points. Nor we believe other polls that show us in a distant 3rd place either. That being said, we're ahead in this poll by over 50 points!

You can place your vote and see the latest results here. …

Five Examples of Engineers in Top Posts

Does professional management with high level technical knowledge make a difference?

In the 1980s engineer Lee Iacocca became a household name by turning Chrysler around.

In 1990's engineer Alan Mullaly project managed the complicated Boeing 777 to a

major success in commercial aviation. He was a surprising choice as CEO

Are you a "Cromwell"?

I just received this heart-tugging email from John D:

Dear Panos--In 1976, a movie called "Cromwell" came out, with Richard Harris as the actor- He was a member of the House of Commons, England, back in the old days- He was so sick and tired of the Taxation System of his day, he said, "eff it", and decided to take his Family to the new world to get away from it all, but a very close friend came to him, and said " you cannot just save yourselves, and leave us"! So, he…

You really had to be there

This email was recently forwarded to me from someone in the audience at a recent New Hope mayoral forum. I've copied/pasted it unedited.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share about the Mayoral Forum that was hosted by New Hope tonight (8/18). The candidates present were Peter Carlisle, Kirk Caldwell and Panos Prevedouros. It was very interesting, to say the least.

In a nutshell, Peter and Panos professed their…
