First, interesting opinion - and it's quite right. Our government, both State and Federal are pieces of CRAP being made worse by career politicians. Every time we have a chance of 'fresh blood' they get pushed aside by people that fail to grasp the simple fact that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM when they continue to vote for the same corrupt people year after year. Until that chain is broken, Hawaii will suffer under the yoke of the Democrats and our country will suffer with a bunch of old cronies that are career politicians and their biggest task is to gain funds for their next election cycle.

On the Big Island we have to put up with a small group of people that are against EVERYTHING that points towards progress and use the word "SACRED" as if it were the answer to everything when it's based on old superstition that is virtually worthless.

" we need to convert to a zero carbon economy" NOT going to happen in this century - time to learn to work with what we have, it's here to stay!
