Cubby-holing this whole thing into the larger context, I am sure right now the Governor is seeing money flow into his 2018 campaign for re-election from progressive organizations that are supporting any person that has publicly come out in resisting policy moves by Pres. Trump. In this decision, the progressives get another victory of which their largess will be shared with those who have come out and joined the battle with them. 

So get ready...because this is just the start to the larger battle of who becomes our leaders in 2018. Liberal progressives are spoiling a fight for victory. I just hope the voters of Hawaii understand that when they go into the voters booths.
