Civil Unions in Hawaii vetoed

This totally sucks – Lingle vetoes civil unions bill Gov. Linda Lingle announced today that she will veto the civil unions bill, describing the measure as “marriage by another name.” Lingle said the legislative maneuvering by the House, which brought the bill to a vote on the last day of session, was wrong and that […]

Civil Unions pass house with Republican sponsorship

from the Honolulu Advertiser The state House passed a bill this afternoon to legalize civil unions between same-sex partners. The vote was 33 to 17 with one member excused. The bill, which now goes to the state Senate, would give partners who enter into civil unions the same benefits and responsibilities under state law as […]

What 5 bills would you introduce?

Ok, with session about to start, if you were in the House what 5 bills would you introduce? I’ll start it off with my 5:

  1. Civil Unions
  2. Call for a constitutional convention. That will work as well as any of the other convoluted suggestions. And it will be quicker.
  3. Effective campaign finance reform. Either public financing or unlimited with full disclosure. Including Congressional elections in the state.
  4. Create a legislative research group who’s job is to measure the effectiveness and ROI of legislation, departments, etc.
  5. Invest in local start-ups. More jobs, better jobs, and the state turns a profit. What’s not to like?

Is Hick Half Full or Half Empty?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The optimist says the glass is half full, the pessimist says it is half empty (and the engineer says it was designed too large). So is Hickenlooper a half full or half empty Governor? It hit me that a lot of people here seems to focus on the negatives and only […]

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

Jobs, jobs, jobs! Every politician in Colorado is claiming that they are totally focused on jobs. But then in so many (not all) cases, they fall back on the same tired proposals they present for any problem. So let’s look as what’s really needed. First off, increasing the number of jobs in this state comes […]

Hawaii Governor’s Race

I just finished interviewing the three candidates for Governor in Hawaii (in the order I met them). Duke Aiona Interview Neil Abercrombie Interview Mufi Hannemann Interview First off, everything here is solely my opinion and not the opinion of any of my family members (I’m pretty sure a couple of these things are going to […]

Where do we owe our allegiance?

Ok, this is not going to make me Mr. Popular. As I’ve mentioned to a couple of campaign managers, we owe our primary allegiance not to a candidate or party, but to our country and to the world. This is essential at times like this when we are in a world of hurt and we […]

Governor Ritter – some Q & A

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Trying something new – you can listen to the first 45 minutes of the interview here. (It was a 90 minute tape but apparently that’s at the slow speed and I used the high speed so it ended at 45 minutes.) Nothing major in the last 15 minutes, that […]

Everything’s going well, so lets f* it up

Colorado has a pretty good business climate, from the perspective of both business and labor. Is it perfect? No. But it runs pretty well. Companies are able to operate and succeed. Unemployment is a bit lower here than elsewhere, there are a lot of well paying jobs, and labor strife is pretty minimal. Most of […]

Resolving the big issues we face (it’s not Iraq)

There’s an old saying, “when you’re up to your ass in alligators, it’s difficult to remember that your initial plan was to drain the swamp.” Well we’re definitely up to our ass, and more, in Iraq. But it’s also important to step back and look at the really big issues we face. Iraq will be […]
