Benjamin Cayetano, who was in political office more than 30 years as a Democrat: first as a state Representative, then 8 years as lieutenant governor; and 8 years as governor, was notorious for his retaliation against people he did not like.
Arguably Cayetano was the most powerful governor in the nation because of the structure of Hawaii's centralized government that keeps most functions and financial revenue streams under the state government, which in other states are directed to county or city jurisdiction.
Cayetano rode in to the governor's seat in 1994 on the coattails of his predecessor and the man he'd served under as lieutenant governor for 8 years, Gov. John Waihee -– the governor who boasted he planned to create "an education system second to none." Waihee didn't.
