Ah, life on a small island has its perks, especially if you are fond of honest gossip. Seems "Rob Parsons, former Environmental Coordinator for Mayor Arakawa," as he likes to be referred to in print, is masquerading as Rob Pearson, the piano mover. The name attached to his business is Big Wazoo. A most fitting name for Parson. "Only the names have been changed to protect my important prior title and status" Parson or Pearson might be quoted as saying in response. Perhaps having an alter ego is appropriate for someone who has such a big primary ego.
It is a well known fact that Parson was appointed by the Mayor to this high paying post as a payback for Parson's endorsement in a tight mayoral race. Piano mover Parson garnered an impressive 13% of the vote in the mayoral primary which just about equals the tree hugging community population--a noisy 13%. In all fairness, it should be noted that election day was a day of great surf--resulting in campaign manager/ wife of Parson noting "...we're screwed because of the big surf." Classy.
But I digress... No one seems to know anything about Parson's environmental education or even if he is a high school graduate.......he is a card carrying member of the Sierra Club and the Dirty Dozen, an environmentalist in his own mind. At least, now he's back to an honest job...if you don't count being a "columnist" for one of Maui's junk class, crediability lacking, fish wrapper simulated newspapers.

What was da Mayor thinking! I checked and what you said is true!
You raise the question that many people are asking, "What are Rob Parson's (Pearson)credentials as he presents himself as an environmental expert. All I see is someone who reads from the works of others. If he is a 'citizen advocate' that is fine but he should not mislead people about his expertise.
