so because he personally felt it was an issue he is spending our tax dollars. tax dollars that could be spent to help the homeless that are already dumped in hawaii by states that don't want to take care of them, to fight to bring in more people that the state doesn't have the resources to take care of anyway?

what a lame excuse to spend taxpayer money on a state already overtaxed because of big boondoggle projects like rail and infrastructure.  let alone obama working behind the scenes  to further his agenda even though his time is up.

sounds like chin is positioning himself for political sound bites in the next election. at taxpayer expense.  another public servant willing to freely spend our hard earned money.
