Prospective Governor’s PARDONS!
Although more research may be necessary, my prospective administrations, if elected, may want to (likely) forgive previous corruptions, as long as they proactively and positively work for the future of Hawaii.
Note: Some damages, as a result of such corruption, may need to be compensated or returned, though. However, they may likely be assessed and evaluated further, before such actions.
Gov. Ige and Lt. Gov. Tsutsui.
Why didn’t they get along?
One reason might have been due to the fact that they ran separately in the race, but not as a team.
Then, why is the system like this?
My take is that establishments and special interests might have wanted in this way; because it might have been easier for them to control our politics and politicians, putting them more under their power.
Just like in the part time schedule in legislature, they might have also purposely wanted our politicians to be more vulnerable for temptations from special interests.
We may need to break and change this system (e.g. by having them run as a team and by changing their term to a full time schedule accordingly with salary increase); so that, our public servants can delve more into serving the general public.

The picture borrowed from internet (no intention of infringement of copyright; and,it will be removed if needed.)
It is surprising and sad that State’s top legislators are supporting Ms. Hanabusa, against incumbent Gov. Ige, with whom they have been working together for years. (I believe they fear more of me being elected.)
It is sickening that they even want to hold or attend Ms. Hanabusa’s fundraising, which is already illegal according to State’s mandate (State Constitution Article II, Section 7), Resign to Run.
It is more sickening that Media have basically been helping Ms. Hanabusa’s illegal campaign all along against their journalistic ethics and duties; although, instead, they should have publicized her bigotry, and should have made her voluntarily resign first from the beginning. (Now, she should withdraw from her candidacy for governor, since resigning at the point is still illegal).
I am still hoping Attorney Generals investigate and disqualify Ms. Hanabusa’s candidacy for governor. However, if I happen to file legal action (more likely, class action) regarding her disqualification, it is for society’s good, which is a part of Hawaii Reform; although some may feel it is not Aloha.
But, if Media had done their job correctly and fairly, I would have never thought of it. Please, remember being negative for the purpose of positivity and for better future, it is not negative at all. Besides, I have been advising her repeatedly here on fb’; which should have been Media’s job in the first place. Aloha.
Note: Ms. Hanabusa should have already recieved a copy of my request to Attorney Generals.
Aloha.
If I get elected, one of the first things that I may want to do, is to meet ALL 75 members of legislators (25 senators, 50 representatives), in a small group, but, preferably individually.
I may personally need to hear their perspectives, and also want to share my thoughts; because we want Hawaii Reform to happen, working together for the same goal, (as much as possible), by trying to draw and have consensus, thru diplomacy.
My plan for State legislature reform; among other things,
1. Change from part time to full time (or year round).
2. Increase legislators’ salary, matched to full time status.
3. Find a better way to help special interests, but monitor their activities more closely.
One reason.
I have somehow sensed legislators might have been vulnernable to manipulations (e.g. bribes) by special interests, due to their part time status and less money they earned from the position.
The fiscal burden, due to increase in legislators’ salary, may not be that much; because I believe, through legislators and legislations, special interests might have already utilized (misused?) government money (budget) for their benefits in one way or another.
After all, we may be able to control the corruption without much extra fiscal burden on government.
(This reform may be dearly needed for the purpose of having legislators less corrupted.)
Aloha.
Regarding Civil Beat’s article on June 3, 2017, “How Did Donovan Dela Cruz Just Become Hawaii’s Most Powerful Senator?”
I bet and suspect that he may not be only one.
We may need overhauling of legislature:
Among other things,
1. Make the legislature as a full time. (And, they should make and have the sessions throughout the year, as necessary).
2. Raise and pay the salary as a full time.
3. Discourage them from engaging in activities of possible conflict of interest.
4. Implement laws and regulation, regarding the above issues. E.g. Discourage special interest groups from engaging in lobbying their interest thru legislators.
Note: Civil Beat should also disclose and announce that they may not have any possible conflict of interest on anything, related to this article.
