quote:Hawaii ranks in the bottom 10% in spending stimulus dollars. I belive Hawaii now ranks dead last in using their portion of the dedicated education dollars. If the federal government made money available to Hawaii for education, but Hawaii has not accepted or spent it, is that the fault of the program? Can't blame the failure to education and health because businesses took their share and spent it while local governement is sitting around debating if Monday or Thursady is the better day to send out lay-off notices.
