OK, maybe we should try to refocus this discussion on issues rather than personalities. I would like to hear from the legislative candidates and/or their supporters what they have done or propose to do about the following issues.
1. Lack of sanitation and other facilities at popular state-owned ocean front locations in Puna such as Champagne Pond and Kehena Beach. (And the lack of recreational opportunities in general.)
2. State Department of Transportation plans for Highway 130 and meaningful citizen input on those plans.
3. Support for charter schools and necessary reforms to the State Education Department to insure their equitable treatment and funding.
4. Utility regulatory reform to unhook the consumer cost of renewable electrical energy sources from petroleum prices.
These are just a few, and I invite others to post issues that they see as important. Hopefully, we will hear something from the candidates or their staff and supporters.
Cheers,
Jerry
