House Republican Caucus releases 2014 legislative package

“Empowering Hawaii’s People to Improve Our Quality of Life”

News Release from House Republican Caucus January 17, 2014

The House Republican Caucus released its 2014 legislative package today, aiming to empower everyday people and advocate for solutions that improve quality of life. The proposals would lower Hawaii’s cost of living, strengthen education, protect people and improve access to government.

“We want people to have a sense of ownership of their government and to explore solutions that are most important to them,” said Representative Aaron Ling Johanson. “These are proposals that can actually improve our quality of life.”

“People deserve a government that works for them. Our priorities this year reflect what the public is most concerned about, because people are at the center of everything we do,” said Representative Beth Fukumoto.
