  • Panos Prevedouros for Mayor
    Dr. Panos Prevedouros, UH professor and renowned traffic engineer, is running for mayor of the City & County of Honolulu. He is up against incumbent Mayor Mufi Hannemann and 8 others including Councilmember Ann Kobayashi. Prevedouros is running on a platform to fix and maintain city infrastructure and building an alternative to fixed rail. He is seeking help and funding from the small business community. You can find more information about Panos at www.panosforprogress.com. Photo copyright 2008.

    Prevedouros Files For Mayor

    Responding to a citizen’s “Draft Panos for Mayor” effort, Dr. Panos Prevedouros declared his candidacy for Mayor of The City and County of Honolulu. Panos is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has made Honolulu his home for the past 18 years.

    “I happen to have the expertise and the drive to fix the problems that face Oahu at this critical time in its history,” said Panos. “Everyone who lives here knows how bad our infrastructure is, and everyone is sick of hearing excuses from city government.” Panos’ platform will focus on Traffic, Trash and Taxes.

    “The reason we all live here is ‘quality of life’ said Panos. “And if our infrastructure problems aren’t addressed properly for the long term, that quality of life will not be there for future generations. Everyone is sick of quick fixes, of filling a pothole in June only to have it reappear with the rains in February.”

    “We’re not talking rocket science here. The systems and the technology are there to fix our roads, improve our traffic flow, address the problems with trash, recycling and the sewage treatment plants. Part of the reason for the severe congestion on Oahu is because the “traffic engineering toolbox” is not used. Traffic signals are not synchronized and updated, incidents and accidents are not managed, and freeway bottleneck relief projects are not done.”

    As for pavements, Panos notes that statewide pavements are the second worst in the nation. And city roadway pavements are much worse than state highway pavements because of years of neglect. Oahu’s sewage management resulted in a billion dollar lawsuit from the Environmental Protection Agency for its lack of secondary sewage treatment. “Any so-called fixes you see are reactive, not proactive like we have to be.”

    Taxpayers feel it in their wallets, but did you know, Panos asks “That in four short years, tax collections went from $1.365 billion during the last fiscal year under Harris to $1,990 billion under Hannemann, a whopping 46% increase. Did you notice any part of city services improve by 46%?”

    Panos has taken a leave of absence from his position as professor of Civil Engineering at UH in order to run for Mayor. He is committed to solving Oahu’s infrastructure problems and putting us on the right road to the future. He plans to spend four years at Honolulu Hale and run for another four if the electorate will have him.

    Panos for Progress’ headquarters are located at 1030 Queen Street, across from Office Depot and Nordstrom Rack. For more information, go to: panosforprogress.com

    ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS HAWAII

    Creating a Better Hawaii Through Private Enterprise

    Small Business Hawaii (SBH) is unique in the U.S. among business and trade associations. It began in order to provide effective advocacy for growing numbers of very small businesses (five employees or less). But SBH accepts within its membership any size business interested in working to improve Hawaii's business climate for all. It is the only completely private, independent, statewide small business association operated entirely by business owners, for business owners. Its influence in business issues, such as, taxation, mandated benefits, health care, privatization and educational partnerships, has crossed America and gone international.

    SBH's mission is dedication to promoting a better Hawaii through private, competitive, networked small businesses. SBH aims to foster job creation, reduce taxes, government regulations, and business costs, while promoting, educating, and effectively fighting for Hawaii's small business community.
