Dear Hawaii, where are we going…?

Super debate?
Really?

Well, if I attend the debate, I would ask only one question, and I may not have to discuss any further: That is going to be the end of debate!

Why HNN and main media (including public media like PBS) are supporting Ms. Hanabusa and not mentioning her disqualification as gubernatorial candidate, even if they knew (know) she violated “resign to run” mandate?

Is she above law?
Isn’t journalists’ duty to let her know, esp. she may be violating both State (Article II, Section 7) and US (Article I, Section 6) Constitutions?

Congressmen (then) Arbercrombie and Heftel resigned before they ran for governor. (Ironically, Ms. Hanabusa ran in the special election, due to Mr. Abercrombie’s Resignation, but lost to Mr. Djou.)

As we know, only Gov. Ige and Ms. Hanabusa might havee been invited. If I were Gov. Ige, I would (should) ask the above question.
If he does not, then, he may be nothing different from Ms. Hanabusa (and/or the media).

Aloha.

One less sick day? for prospective Queen Liliuokalani Day

I urge public and other private sector (esp. union) employees to donate their sick day for (prospective) Queen Liliuokalani holiday in September, in case and if we may have some issues implementing it due to budgets (or too many holidays).
If implemented, there will be our first 4 day holidays on labor day weekend.
If so, certain sectors or departments may need to have a rolling 4 day weekend.
I hope this holiday gets thru, (although I have one more holiday, Eddie Aikau Day, in mind).
Aloha.
P.S. I will do my best giving your sick day back. If not happens during my term, then hopefully later.

Non (main) media covered debate

It seems there may (will) be a gubernatorial debate, hosted by Waianae Coast Candidate Forum (WCCF) ; and (to be) televised by non (main) media, Olelo community media, on July 13th, around 6 pm.
I would want to attend the debate. (I replied and accepted the invitation.)
Now, people of Hawaii may get to see me and my views.
I hope it is an open debate; so, we can freely discuss issues, but will see.
Thanks.
