The problem with the senators?  F - E - A - R that the jig is up and they will be revealed for what they are:  Folks with a hand in the "cookie jar" filled by the developers.  I attended the first of the budget hearing of the Attorney General's Office before Sen. Tokuda.  She is sharp and nothing gets by her.  She held the A/G's feet to the fire and he was left looking unprepared.  She truly demonstrated that she took her job seriously.  FIN committee appeared to buy the malarky and didn't question.

Tokuda, McKelvey...a representative on the people's side, not the side of big business.  Someone said being removed is a feather in her cap.  I'm sure by that they mean she was viewed as a threat to those who will vote against the best interests of Hawaii citizens, and against really bad ideas!  Well, I've heard it said she may be destined for bigger positions.  Governor's position next election would be my first thought.  Maybe they did her a favor and haven't yet realized it.
