Mayor Caldwell's logic is 100% erratic and narcissistic  :  Gubernatorial aspirations? hahaha! 

"Senate Bill 938, now being considered by the Legislature, would eliminate the 10 percent cut for the state altogether.

House Speaker Joe Souki said he also believes that 10 percent is too high and has introduced legislation, House Bill 349, to pare it back to 5 percent.

“We’ve been doing it long enough,” he said. “Now we should be more realistic.”

But Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell told lawmakers this week that he was prepared to go in the opposite direction by increasing the state’s cut, a move that might make the extension more palatable to skeptical legislators.
