“Where’s our governor?” Sen. Kai Kahele (D, Hilo) said Tuesday. “There is not a sense that someone is taking charge.”

And NOW you noticed?  He's been out to lunch since he got elected.  And no one taking charge is a way of life in Hawaii politics.  That makes you, Senator, part of the problem.

So, what happens two years from now when the Mayor comes back and asks for another $3 billion for the next set of cost overruns.  Where is the leadership going to come from then?  Clearly not you, Senator.
