Hawaii’s Big Government Bureaucracy; How Red Tape Threatens the Individual

Hawaii Together, with host Keli'i Akina and guest Jensen Ahokovi September 27, 2021

The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii’s newest research associate, Jensen Ahokovi, quoted founder Dick Rowland’s quip, “The bigger government gets, the smaller you get,” in a recent commentary in Honolulu Civil Beat.

Ahokovi wrote about Hawaii's stunningly large government bureaucracy and how too often it serves itself instead of the public.

Program host Keli‘i Akina, president and CEO of the institute, talks with Ahokovi about why a limited government is a better way to ensure respect for the individual, as well as facilitate better economic outcomes, such as for healthcare and housing.
