I have often wondered about the Maui Pono Network so I started researching them on the internet. I discovered a website related to them that discussed many of their stances on issues. One of them was the transparency in funding issue, which they have actively been using in an attempt to discredit many candidates, especially for the mayoral race.
While searching further, I discovered where to donate to them. I followed the "contact us" link and asked them, if they were so insistent on transparency in funding, would they please disclose their sources for funding. I received the following response:
"We are a Super Pac, so sorry, we can not publicly disclose our supporters, and donations. I am curious what the one has to do with the other though. If you are in doubt as to the accuracy of the content of our information, you can check it yourself, we provide all the sources.

For those who believe this is a local, grass-roots organization, this provides strong evidence that they are not. It also reveals their hypocrisy on the issue of transparency in funding. This organization is as corrupt as any in Washington, D.C.
