My reply to Mr. Ian Koski, who wrote “Economic reform. Energy reform and agriculture reform!” on Richard Kim for Governor.
“I have also been thinking about your stated reforms, which may be very necessary for our self-reliability and sustainability.
On Energy and Agricultural reforms, Gov. Ige might have been talking about them. So, I will study more about his plans, and consider if they may need more or major changes, (if and when I get elected).
On Economic reform, we (People of Hawaii) may need to have some consensus, because balanced economic development may possibly require us to sacrifice some, if not much, of natural environment; since we may need to implement e.g., some manufacturing jobs and industries, at least, for our self sustainabilty. (Fyi, our islands’ population might have grown about 50% for 30? years or so. We may need to plan and prepare for more population growth.)
I will survey and consider cautiously; since, without some sacrifice of natural environment, we may not achieve our balanced economic growth and sustainability…
These can be further discussed, later, e.g. in legislature.
Once again, mahalo nui.”
My analysis on recent event about Media’s premature announcement of Ms. Donna Kim’s wanting to run for Ms. Hanabusa’s congressional seat, as if Ms. Hanabusa already officially announced her run for governor and the seat is already available.
(Note: This is only my opinion; and may not necessarily be true, although they may be possible.)
Why did Media want to announce too prematurely, without hesitation?
Among other things,
1. Ms. Hanabusa was recently elected as US congresswoman.
2. Ms. Hanabusa announced her intention to run for governor without major agenda less than a year after. (On previous post, I suspected someone or group, including media, might have possibly influenced or forced her to enter into governor race; because I reasoned an intellectual career woman like her would not want to make such irrational or irresponsible decision without thinking.)
3. If Ms. Hanabusa is a reasonable and rational person, which I believe so without a doubt, she might have not personally wanted to enter into governor race.
Because, among other things,
A) She moved to Washington DC only a year ago.
B) She has been a congresswoman only a year.
C) She may have to quit her current position, which is guaranteed for 3 more years.
D) Many people already blame her for the unreasonable decision to run for governor, too soon, without any major agenda.
E) She may not want to risk of losing the governor race, which may, in turn, put her without job for at least 2 years, (if she loses).
F) If she loses, it may also become end of her political career.
G) Governor job may be much harder, even if elected.
4. Among and above the reasons, Ms. Hanabusa may be currently hesitating very much, if she wants to officially quit her current position to run for governor or not.
5. Therefore, this premature news announcement may be Media’s (and/or Groups’) CONTINUED PRESSURE to Ms. Hanabusa, not to change her mind.
6. It may also serve as a continued news to general public and voters, in order to help her in the governor race, (if she officially enters).
This is just some of my thoughts and opinion.
I welcome any other ideas or analysis.
Aloha.
This is my conversation with Mr. Albert Lanier on recent Civil Beat’s post… (He has not responded to my request, so far)…
