Ed Case: “Honolulu Harbor needs critical improvements.”

Certainly, he was speaking to the hopes and fears and concerns of a good solid chunk of the electorate out there.

This has nothing to do with voter suppression. Now, those are fears and there are legitimate fears, and I accept those concerns.

Native Hawaiians teach that our forests are essential to all life and embrace a deep sense of responsibility to sustain and protect all that is the wao nahele.

I strongly urge my colleagues to join with me in passing and enacting the Indigenous Diplomacy and Engagement Act.
