HONOLULU CITY COUNCIL A RUBBER STAMP FOR RECKLESS GOVERNMENT SPENDING

HONOLULU—Hawai'i Republican Party Chairman Jonah Ka'auwai commented votes made by the Honolulu City Council today:

“The Honolulu City Council should take a lesson from Hawai'i’s struggling families and reduce spending instead of voting unanimously for 12.5 percent increase in City spending from last year. Once again under Council Chairman Todd Apo’s leadership, the Honolulu City Council has been hijacked to serve as a rubber stamp for Mayor Mufi Hannemann’s agenda of raising taxes and increasing government spending.”

“Charles Djou built his career fighting for limited government and against raising taxes.  In his first major act as Djou's replacement on the City Council, Lee Donohue voted to dramatically expand government spending and increase taxes.  Councilmember Donohue's votes are so typical of politics as usual in Hawai'i and a perfect example of how unique, important and needed Congressman Djou's voice is in our government."
