Fortunately there a more than a few in our state government who are actually trying to look out for our state, and more importantly, its inhabitants. Unfortunately, they are marginalized by the powers and party that be. It's no accident that the greed, ignorance, and indifference of the majority of elected officials has put Hawaii where it is today. And it will be no accident that Hawaii falls further from any form of true self governance, reliance or prosperity for its residents.
