Maui Board of Ethics declines action on complaints against Council Member Tom Cook

The Maui County Board of Ethics voted 6-0 Wednesday to decline processing two new complaints against Council Member Tom Cook, finding the identical allegations lacked foundational requirements for a formal hearing.

Precinct results: In razor-thin primary, Cook takes Central Maui; King backed in South and East Maui

First-term Maui County Council Member Tom Cook finished 145 votes ahead of former Council Member Kelly Takaya King in Saturday’s primary election by winning all Central Maui precincts and splitting votes with his rival Upcountry and in West Maui. In her bid to retake her former South Maui residency seat, King prevailed in all precincts from North Kīhei to Mākena and posted strong showings in East Maui.
