 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Editorial - Commentary
When the Ewa Plains was designated the Second City, the City and County of Honolulu envisioned huge windfall profits from the booming housing construction along the Fort Weaver Road corridor in Ewa.
Unable to control growth and development in the Ewa area, or even attempt to mitigate the mounting impacts, it became clear that the city had yielded most of its inherent governing powers to the developers, landowners and politicians.
When the city was left dying, sapped of political power, the developers morphed into a beast, with the landowner and politicians embedded in its belly, and moved in for the kill, strangling the city of its last breath and leaving it powerless in the region.

Five more get axe at Auburn (8/25/04) Jack Stripling Staff Writer A painful promise was kept at Auburn University Tuesday, when five AU employees lost their jobs in what’s been billed as a cost-saving measure.
A multimillion dollar financial relationship between trustees Jack Miller and Robert Lowder was cited as a potential violation of the university’s Code of Ethics in a report issued by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - an agency that could pull AU’s accreditation in December.
The absence of faculty input in the trustees’ appointment of both Richardson and his predecessor, William Walker, was widely viewed as an indication that faculty had no real say in the direction of the university.
