Bikemon, a slight clarification.  The city did not merely redirect $2 million.  It forgave two loans for $1.2 million ORI received from the City which in effect made the loans a gift from the taxpayers of Honolulu.  You also failed to mention that the this was all done when current council chair, Ernie Martin, was the city's Community Services Director Ernie Martin and played a major role in the ORI bailout.  Can you smell it now?
