https://mauitime.com/culture/history/cravalho-was-sending-cops-around-newly-released-fbi-files-shed-light-on-how-maui-mayor-elmer-cravalho-wielded-power-against-the-press/

my sister in law's father - i guess he was an inlaw and an outlaw - published a newsletter on maui many years ago, and got harrased by the mayor for it.
many years later, the fbi files on the case are turning up as a result of a freedom of information act request. i am about to read the article by the journalist who made the request. it was good, and ties into a bigger investigation of corruption and power on maui.

it reminds me of the time  i did an amicus for a guy who was wrongfully arrested in charksburg west virginia for publishing criticism of the mayor.
