I could get into specifics and personalities that would make your eyes get big, but I don't think it would move the discussion forward -- so with regard to Homola, let's just say "it ain't pretty" ...
Read it & weep:
Island County commissioner candidate was discipline problem as county worker
This is a blatant attempt to shore up her shaky political base for the upcoming 2012 election. Nothing more ... nothing less.
<shrug> She's just doing what politicians do--trying to bring home the pork. Probably got a lot of P-3 guys worried, though .Let's see, would I rather do a tour in Hawaii or Whidbey? Hmmmmm...?
"That runway (at Kaneohe Bay) does not facilitate a fully loaded (P-3), so the P-3 either has to truncate its mission or go to Hickam (Air Force Base) to fill up," she said by phone. "So a P-8A would have the same problem. However, a P-8A can refuel in the air, so, either we have to use another aircraft to fill it in the air, or it's going to have to hop over to Hickam and fill up there."
