In plain words: When the same names that gave money also got votes or contracts, the pattern shows up here. We ask it as a question, never an accusation.

The Patterns — Money × Votes (joined)
Three public-record joins across Maui County and the State of Hawaiʻi. Correlation is a
question for investigation, not proof of a quid pro quo. Campaign money received next to recusals
(county) or dissents (state) on housing/STR/RE/water/budget matters shows where to look; it does not
establish why anyone voted as they did. Verify before asserting anything about anyone.
