“What’s your story?
That’s the question deputy editor Eric Pape asked when we first rolled out “Connections,” a new Civil Beat feature that allows people to share their stories and opinions on issues in Hawaii. The first thread has focused on our high cost of living, an issue Eric has been researching.
