Randall Roth: In Hawaii Education, The Buck Stops Nowhere
By News Release @ 1:02 PM :: 13170 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
That glaring problems have continued for so long is a serious indictment of leadership. Someone should be held accountable … but that’s not possible. In Hawaii’s one-of-its-kind governance system, the buck stops nowhere.

Sarah Palin: Concerning the "Death Panels"
By News Release @ 10:05 PM :: 9311 Views :: National News, Ethics

Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly, and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system these “unproductive” members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.

Layoffs: State challenges HGEA call for refusal of RIF forms
By News Release @ 1:16 PM :: 7617 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
“I hope our employees adhere to the deadline we have set, because the possible consequences to them of ignoring the deadline could be the loss of any ability to bump into a different position,” Governor Lingle said.
“I am also very disappointed that the HGEA and UPW have failed to respond to the offer we presented on July 21, 2009. Unfortunately, the State’s deteriorating budget situation is getting worse, not better, and the amount the State can afford to pay in labor costs continues to decline. The unions’ failure to accept or recognize this is, in my opinion, not in their members’ best interests.”

Governor announces layoffs for union members: Furloughs for non-union
By News Release @ 11:23 PM :: 6298 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
Governor Lingle also announced that she will furlough approximately 900 state employees for three days per month effective September 1, 2009. These “exempt excluded” employees are all non-union employees, who are not covered by Judge Karl Sakamoto’s order barring the Governor from unilaterally implementing furloughs for union employees.
(Sounds like union membership is detrimental to the interests of those emplyees who are being laid off.)

Inouye salutes Statehood
By News Release @ 1:38 PM :: 7410 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Three years ago, a Statehood Rally was attacked at Iolani as police stood by. Now this from Inouye:
"The territory of Hawaii was annexed to the United States in 1898 by a joint resolution of Congress based on a treaty signed with the Hawaiian government. For many years thereafter, many delegations of congressmen and senators visited the territory to consider the pleas submitted by generations of our people requesting statehood."
These lines are sure to aggrivate the phony "sovereignty" activists--drug dealers, mortgage scammers, child abusers and others paid by OHA to create an argument for the Akaka Bill by pretending to oppose it in favor of "independence". But Hawaii's elite have decided to turn off the faucet on OHA's goons--for now. What will happen AFTER Admission Day?

AG Bennett: State will appeal furlough ruling
By News Release @ 1:05 PM :: 4976 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
Governor Lingle and I continue to believe that Judge Sakamoto erred in his legal analysis, and that the Governor has the right to implement the three-day-per-month furlough plan. The State also believes Judge Sakamoto erred in deciding that he, rather than the Hawai‘i Labor Relations Board, had jurisdiction in this matter. The State will shortly file an appeal and will seek expedited consideration of that appeal.

To ensure the Kulani facility will be used productively for the benefit of the state and the Big Island community, the Department of Public Safety is currently working with the Hawai‘i Department of Defense (DOD) on a Memorandum of Agreement for the land to be utilized for the DOD’s Hawai‘i National Guard Youth Challenge program.

Gov Lingle vetoes bills that would hurt job creation
By News Release @ 11:15 PM :: 5142 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
HONOLULU – Governor Linda Lingle today vetoed five bills that would discourage the creation of more jobs in the state of Hawai‘i. The Governor issued the vetoes one day in advance of the constitutional veto deadline to highlight the need to ensure that Hawai‘i’s economic recovery is not undermined by legislation that would make it harder for employers to hire and retain their workforce.
“The primary focus of my five-point economic recovery plan is to encourage the creation of jobs in the private sector. This is also the focus of President Obama’s federal economic stimulus efforts,” said Governor Lingle. “It is important that government not send the wrong message to employers and not make it harder or more expensive for them to keep and retain good staff. In addition, it is important for government to respect the rights of employees who are in the workforce.”

Gov Lingle submits potential veto list to Legislature
By News Release @ 4:36 PM :: 5754 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
Specific areas of concern include bills that would extract more taxes from state residents (HB 1271, SB 1678 and HB 1544); impact end-of-life choices (HB 1379); curtail affordable housing choices (SB 1160 and SB 1350); and, remove the Public Utility Commission’s oversight to control basic telephone service (SB 603).
In addition, due to the unprecedented $2.7 billion revenue shortfall between now and June 30, 2011, as projected by the Council on Revenues, the Lingle-Aiona Administration has increased scrutiny of all bills for potential budgetary implications. As a result, a number of bills were put on the potential veto list because they call for new or increased spending at a time when the State cannot afford to expand the cost of government or further deplete the State’s limited fiscal resources. Twelve bills on the list fall into this category of potentially negative fiscal implications (HB 36, HB 343, HB 358, HB 982, HB 986, HB 989, HB 1504, HB 1809, SB 266, SB 423, SB 1248 and SB 1665).
