LIHUE — Kauai Island Utility Cooperative’s incumbent directors Calvin Murashige, Jan TenBruggencate and Peter Yukimura have been re-elected to the KIUC board. These three directors will each serve three-year terms ending March 2022.
The official results of the 2019 board of directors election are:
1. Calvin Murashige, 3,116 votes;
2. Peter Yukimura, 3,046 votes;
3. Jan TenBruggencate, 2,994 votes.
KIUC mailed 26,053 ballots and received 3,792 responses, for a turnout of 15 percent.
Merriman River Group, a California-based election management firm, conducted the election.
The re-elected board members will be inaugurated on Tuesday, March 26, at 9 a.m. in the KIUC main conference room. The board will hold its monthly meeting at 9:30 a.m
It only goes to show the ignorant and stupidity of voters who cannot see and/or will not recognize that Peter Yukimura is the brother of ex-Kauai Mayor Joann Yukimura whose husband owns the company that generates electricity from river flows and is currently operating under controversy methods in avoiding paying his fair share of water usage by directing its outflow outside of the original water course way.
