By Video @ 10:50 PM :: 5804 Views :: Energy, Environment
|

MZ—Similar thing with Linda Lingle (and the Republican Party), I think.

Marumoto: Pension Tax threshold could be dropped to $75K at end of session
By Video @ 7:29 PM :: 8267 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment
|
one of my concerns with this bill as currently drafted is that, while the threshold is now higher, $100,000, it opens the door to taxing the pensions of those with a lower AGI in the future. It could slip down to $75,000 or lower before the end of session or in future sessions.

By Video @ 11:42 AM :: 9396 Views :: Kauai County, DHHL, Energy, Environment

“This bill primarily affects property crimes and takes repeat offender status away from those kinds of crimes. As a police officer I’ve dealt with this many many times where we’ve had people that have gone out and habitually burglarized homes, stolen cars all to fuel their drug habit…. And I feel that we need to have that repeat offender status for these kinds of crimes because of the fact that we do have these people that are just habitual criminals….” -- Rep George Fontaine (R-Kihei)

$37,500? Abercrombie makes fool of himself during Pension Tax debate

"That’s why it is egregious for you to indicate that what I’m saying is that somebody with a sole total income of $37,500—that that is their sole income—that they would be asked under those circumstances to pay that. But if anybody wants to try and manipulate the numbers for a personal political agenda in order to try and score political points, let me tell you—this is one Governor that’s not going to put up with it." -- Abercrombie

Olbermann: It is not disloyalty to remind the President that he was elected by people to whom he had given a clear outline of what he would do for them. And if he does not steer out of the skid of what he is doing to them, he will not only not be reelected, he may not even be re-nominated.
It is not disloyalty to remind him that we are not bound to an individual. We are bound to principles. If the individual changes or fails often or needlessly, then we get a new man. Or woman….
