(AP) — A legislative aide to a Honolulu city councilman is on paid administrative leave after receiving a letter from federal authorities informing him he’s a target in an investigation. Roy Amemiya was managing director under former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. He’s now a legislative aide working on special projects in the office of Councilman Calvin Say. Amemiya’s attorney says he received the letter on his client’s behalf. It’s unclear what Amemiya is being investigated for. Other former city officials have received similar letters in a corruption investigation that took down a former police chief and his former deputy prosecutor wife.
