This is Linda Lingle the Republican Governor of Hawaii.

She is a friend of the Bush family. She is also opposed to the Akaka Bill, which if passed, would return a tremendous amount of land to Native Hawaiians. She is also the founder of what is known as "Furlough Friday." On Fridays in Hawaii government offices, as well as schools and a hospital are closed because of a budget shortfall. Kids no longer have a 5 day school week. The hospital closed is the one closest to Oahu's North Shore. If on a Friday, a kid who is out of school is injured, the ambulance is now required to drive him or her twice the distance.
Yesterday, she shut every business in this state down for a few hours over a bogus tsunami scare. Public funding for tsunami warning siren repair in my area is low, so the police had to knock on my door and force me from my home, as they had to do with many North Shore residents.

This is Neil Abercrombie. He is a Democrat, who recently resigned from the US Congress. He fully supports the Akaka Bill, and is a regular at meetings of the Defend Oahu Coalition. He quit Congress to come home and put an end to Furlough Friday.
Oddly enough, he had scheduled a party and a news conference yesterday to announce his candidacy for Governor of Hawaii.
It had to be canceled because of the tsunami.
Aloha!
