By Andrew Walden @ 8:40 PM :: 7093 Views :: Education K-12, Environment, Ethics
|

Djou joins Tax Day protest
By News Release @ 8:56 AM :: 8445 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment
|
I will be joining hundreds of other hard working Hawaii taxpayers at 4pm on April 15 at our state capitol to display our objection to government taking the easy way out and sending us a bigger tax bill. Families across the nation are tightening their belts to deal with these difficult economic times and instead of doing the same, all levels of government want to simply make these times harder and raise our taxes. This is unfair and unacceptable.

Honolulu Council Race: fake resumes
By News Release @ 4:08 PM :: 6829 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12
|
In the report, Mr. Holmes questions Mr. Anderson's claim in a television advertisement that Anderson was former Councilwoman Barbara Marshall's senior aide for six years. Two former senior advisers to Marshall have also claimed this statement to be inaccurate.
In 1999, Mr. Holmes was unable to explain why he could not produce documentation of graduate and undergraduate degrees from the University of Iowa, despite his claim that he earned both a bachelors and master degree from the university. The University of Iowa has said that Holmes was a former student for three semesters, but earned no such degrees.

Ed Case seeks return to Congress -- CD1
By Ed Case @ 11:19 AM :: 11937 Views :: Education K-12, Environment, Ethics
|
I'm truly excited at the opportunity to represent Hawai’i's great First Congressional District … from Makapu’u to Mililani, Waikele and Ewa Beach. I've lived and worked in the First half of my life. I represented Mānoa and Makiki for eight years in our state legislature, have crisscrossed the First in two statewide campaigns, and have addressed its needs in Congress. I know the First, and I know I can represent its 600,000 citizens well in Congress.
To my friends in Hawai’i's equally great Second Congressional, where I was born and raised and have spent the other half of my life, and whom I was fiercely proud to represent in Congress for over four years, I look forward to continuing to represent you in D.C. as well. I ask for your continued support.
