Republicans should stick to issues
Trump is way out in front in the race, there is no need to demonize the other candidates. If you have a plan to fix the problems, like cutting regulations that choke the economy or taking a strong stand on the Mideast.
Rubio, Cruz and Bush need a plan on how to fix the problems, instead of whining about Trump and demonizing each other, Kasich brags about what he has done, but no plan for tomorrow.
Carson is the only one that sticks to the problems, even though he doesn’t have a complete game plan. However, he is smart enough to call the business and military leaders to the round table and come up with a fix.
Republicans, if you can’t get your act together, we will have four more years with a Democrat leader.

Dengue a breeze
You know, I had some of that dengue fever and it wasn’t that bad. Now I just lay around naked all day and don’t do diddly squat.

Kudos to DLNR
I would like to publicly extend my humble thank yous to all the concerned individuals who signed the petition to have the DLNR address the safety issue at the Keauhou boat wash area. We are in great hopes this will be addressed sooner than we expect, and not at the expense of someone’s injury.
The following is what the DLNR sent me:
Mahalo for your letter and petition regarding the slippery surface at Keauhou Boat Ramp wash down area.
We have actually awarded a contract to a vendor to conduct what is called concrete scarifying. This is done when a machine roughs up the surface of the concrete to create a rougher texture which in turn reduces or eliminates any slippery surface. We have given the notice to proceed to this awarded vendor and are awaiting his arrival. As you know since we have numerous people using the ramp area, the challenge will be to conduct the scheduled work while keeping at least one lane open for usage. Rest assure the work shall be completed in the near future.

Legislators should take up Onizuka Museum
I have just received the “bulk mail” regarding the key legislation for 2016 — it is lacking as usual!
Always the same old hum-drum, and in the end nothing ever gets done. Senators, mayor, governor, representatives, councilmen, etc., why not actually do something for Hawaii?
The closing of the Onizuka Museum will be a sad day for Hawaii, especially the Big Island. This incredible, rare and honorable hero needs to be honored. The museum has touched the children, many visitors, travelers from all over the world and is a huge asset to the Big Island. That this educational facility is to be closed is a disgrace! That no elected official has taken up the cause is a disgrace!
For this museum to be replaced by a TSA office is absurd! A new building was promised to the Onizuka Museum many years ago, and never happened because your elected officials spend their time and your money “discussing,” never doing! Utter nonsense, baloney, shibai, you get the drift …
The Big Island is extremely lacking in anything for its young people, aha! There is a real goal for elected officials, do something for the families that you supposedly represent. The museum is a good place to start.
From the looks of “key legislation” you folks seriously need something to do! Something that makes a difference.
Do it! You will feel better about yourself.
Study up on Mr. Ellison Onizuka. You will be in awe of a human who actually had accomplishments during his short lifespan.
