Mayor Blangiardi is social, intelligent, highly energetic, and caring. He wants to connect with people to effectively and efficiently make a lasting positive impact. But it's strange and sad that Mayor Blangiardi's "Communication Team" is weak! Are people reaching out to his office, writing to him, and waiting for a response? How many good ideas slipped through Mayor Blangiardi's hands? Admirable for the Mayor to admit it, but the Mayor's "Communication Team" needs to step up and/or beef up the team. Mahalo.
