Yes our Governor has a "Full Plate" to deal with and he has a Great Administration to assist him, I believe there will be huge improvements in all areas that the Governor has laid out, I honestly think if the Lawmakers will pull their arrogant heads out of their back side, and work on things that would benefit the people of Hawaii and not their pockets. I think the biggest hurdle for the Governor is going to be the Politicians which we all basically know do very little for the people.

Good luck with any tax cuts. I believe some of these politicians would tax air if they could figure out how.

Those top two - homeless and affordable housing - are two sides of the same coin.
