Kaua'i county council has become one of my favorite reality shows, I usually watch via live-stream but sometimes on TV.

With the camera's focused on every council person and everyone who testifies you can gather quite a bit from body language.

Ken Taylor and Glenn Mickens are two members of the community that comment on almost every matter that comes up. When the camera's show council members during public testimony or right before their going to the podium you will see looks of rolling the eyes, arms crossed and stink eye.

More of us should attend meetings and ask questions of our elected officials, it's another way of checks and balances. Since I am not able to attend council meetings in person, I am thankful that we have a couple of die hard watchmen looking over what our elected officials do.

May I suggest no more rolling of the eyes and crossing of the arms when the watchmen go to testify. After-all the watchmen are our true public servants doing what they do for no pay, no car allowance or health insurance, just out of love and concern for Kauai, the aina' and it's people. '

Mahalo Nui Loa watchmen!
