As part of Civil Beat’s efforts to give some of the lesser-known of the 11 candidates for Honolulu mayor a chance to present their views, host Chad Blair interviews Larry Friedman in this special election edition of the Pod Squad.

One of 11 Honolulu mayoral candidates, Friedman says it’s time for Hawaii to move away from reelecting incumbent politicians, who he thinks too often hide from the public and avoid accountability when there’s bad news.
