To accomplish this, I wOl focus on these specific areas. 1 ) Restore public trust - by holding all officials accountable and introducing legislation for term limits; for an elected Attomey General; stop the practice of awarding non-bid eontracts; prohibit legislators from receiving campaign donations during session; Bishop Estate trustees would be two years out of elected office to be eligible for appointment. 2) Revitalize the economy - pass meaningful Worker's Compensation and Torte reform; support the promotion of business at every level of govemment, greater tax relief and tax breaks for small business; stop the practice of subsidizing private companies; initiate land use and zoning reform by eliminating the SLUC (State Land Use Commission) and the OSP (Office of State Planning), these functions belong to the counties. 3) Parents should have the right to use their own tax dollars for vouchers in order to choose public, private or home school education for their children; parents must retain the right to control loeal schools by electing board members.

Steve Kolt

Age: 51 Born: Hackensack, New Jersey Previous politieal experienee: None. Employment and eommunity service experience:

Current employment - President, Cab Corporation whieh includes several taxi companies, airport shuttle services and limousine companies. Past employment - Steve Kolt has 30 years experience in Hawai'i's travel, tour and transportation industries. Transportation consultant to 1984 Los Angeles 01ympics.

It is time for us to have sk01ed professional business people in government whieh I bring. Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: I would legislate to reduce cost of living by 1) eliminating the 4 percent excise tax on food, medicine and medical care; 2) reduce the cost of insurance; 3) make Hawai'i more business-friendly and thereby create more private sector jobs for our citizens. • Housing: Streamline the permit system so that building homes ean be done quickly and at a reduced cost.

trained to assume positions that accord a living wage. How should Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination be addressed? I support setting up a "nation-within-a-nation" whereby Hawaiians would be responsible for goveming and developing fonner crown (ceded) lands. Sen. Dist. 1 1 (Manoa) Jeff Tom (R)

Age: 40 Born: Honolulu, Hawai'i Previous politieal experienee: No prior polhieal experienee. EmDlovment

and community service experience: Present employment - Dept. of Public Safety/Corrections social worker. Professional experience - Child Protective Services social worker. Queen Lili'uokalani Children's Center social worker. V\'hy running for office: To retum elected government back to the people and out of the hands of career politicians. To fomi a working partnership between the public and govemment.

Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: Our cost of living in Hawai'i rariks among the highest in the nation. This is a result of the scarcity of "marketable" land resources, whieh drives the cost of doing business up. • Housing: Current "affordable housing" programs are for most residents of Hawai'i still very unaffordable! We must work together with land owners, housing developers, and government officials in allowing the market demand for housing to drive the costs of housing. • Health: Quality health care for Hawai'i residents still needs to be a priority, as many are left without proper and necessary health care, despite the new Health Quest program. Many residents of Hawaiian ethnicity suffer ffom improper nutrition and diet, and ehallenges with dmgs and aleohol. • Jobs: State government must work aggressively to encourage the formation and profitability of small and large businesses. In doing so, government will stimulate creativity, eeonomie growth, and tmst as a "business parmer." The frrst step is to make Hawai'i "business-friendly" rather than a business/investors nightmare. • Education: A growing, vibrant state eeonomy has its foundation in the talents and energies of its children. Thus far, we have not kept our promise to our children to make Hawai'i's school system "second to none." To stop Hawai'i's "brain drain" we must first provide them with up-to-date books. We must provide more vocational/technical training programs.

What will you do for Hawaiians? Work with the spiritual, eeonomie, and political leaders of the Hawaiian people to develop a distinct, autonomous, sovereign entity for the Hawaiian people.

How should Hawaiian sovereignty and se!f-determination be addressed? It is time for Native Hawaiians to be given the opportunity to organize and govem themselves. Release the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands from under the authority of the State of Hawai'i and make it a separate, sovereign, self-goveming body.

Sen. Dist. 1 3 (PunchbowlNuuanui) Mary Jossem (R) Age: 48 Born: St. Louis, Missouri Previous political expefience: Member of the Republican Party of Hawai'i since 1990.

Employment and community service experience: Chief Administrative Officer of the Special Education Center of Hawai'i, Teacher, Staff Assistant to the American Bar Association, General Manager of The Grammar Group, ine.; elected Secretary of the Association of Weinberg Fellows, Member of the State Planning Council on Developmental Disabilities.

Why running for office: I want to bring straight talk, eommon sense, and change to the Legislature and say "aloha" to the career politicians who have so badly botched the job of goveming our state. Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: More jobs mean more taxpayers and more revenue without increasing tax rates. We then need to explore less costly means of service delivery, such as a smaller state bureaucracy and privatization of prisons, refuse collection, park rangers and transit operations. • Housing: Cut the red tape in the permit and zoning process whieh currently drives the cost up for developers whieh is then passed on to consumers. • Health: Standardize insurance elaim forms, eap malpractice non-eeonomie liability to reduce costly defensive medicine. promote private insurance coupled with Medisaver Accounts - a medical IRA that rewards healthy individuals with a retirement or long-term care bonus. • Jobs: Give businesses incentives to invest in Hawai'i. Reform the abuses in Worker's Comp and reform tort law to reduce the cost of doing business. Diversify. • Education: Give control of the schools to loeal communities. Cut the administrative overload and put the money in the classrooms.

What will you do for Hawaiians? End and remedy the wrongful diversion of revenues from ceded lands and Hawaiian Homes lands and empower Hawaiians to bring suit for damages due them; support making Hawaiian Homes and other acquired lands "enterprise zones" that will enjoy special tax treatment and promote such investment as is determined by Hawaiians themselves. How should Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination be addressed? As Americans, we must all be willing to acknowledge that a wrong was done and it must be righted. We should make the vision

of Prince Kūhiō, of lands where Hawaiian culture and values ean flourish, a reality with infrastructure, loan guarantees, and empoweiTnent programs so the waiting list is no more.

Why running for off1ce: To reverse the steadily declining standard of living, and the explosive growth of govemment.

Eliminate tax on medical services and food. • Housing: Reduce government interferences in construction and housing. • Health: There is no problem in Hawai'i. • Jobs: Providing tax incentives to new businesses. • Education: Eliminate the DOE and create autonomous school district. What will you do for Hawaiians? Require that all homelands be retumed to Hawaiians immediately. How should Hawaiian sovereignty and seIf-determination be addressed? By Hawaiians themselves. As an incentive to unity I would require that all ceded and Queen's lands will be returned to the newly soverign Hawaiian nation (nation with a nation).

Work as a site supervisor presently. Why running for office: To restore honesty and efficiency in govemment, to improve public education, to preserve agriculture and the mral atmosphere and lifestyle of my district, to solve and ease the harsh eeonomie conditions in Hawai'i.

Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: Tax overhaul and relief, reduction of state ineome taxes, elimination of the food and medicine tax, break up the cargo shipping monopoly from the Mainland and bring down food and eonsumer goods' prices and create more jobs and reduce shortages. • Housing: More affordable housing and a bank pool of revenues.

port Hawaiians anel their self-determination. \ll Hawaiians should be participating in the plebiscite. Thereafter the Legislature should mandate infrastructure for Hawaiian home lands through bonds and banking pools. By law waiting lists should be systematically whittled down vv ithin a prescribed time. How should Hawaiian sovereigntv and self-determination be addressed? Hawaiians must eome together as one. Hawaiians must set the agenda and the climate of self-determination. Presently a strong majority approves of Hawaiian self-determination.

Sen. Dist. 24 (KaneoheKailua and Enchanted Lake) Marshall K. Ige (D) Age: 40 Born: Kāne'ohe, Hawai'i Previous pol it iea I experience: Full-time member of the State House of Representatives since 1978.

Why running for office: For sake of children. we must diversify our economy away from tourism. Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: 1 would like to look into ways to reduce existing taxes and allow me to eoniinue my position of not supporting any tax increases whieh would add to increasing the cost of living here in Hawai'i. • Housing: I would like to continue my effort to look into a state leasing program. State leasing will allow housing inventory to remain in government's hands in perpetuity. • Hea!th: Our community is getting older. We must continue looking into providing reasonable heahh care costs for our elderly. • Jobs & Education: Quality jobs will require quality education. Keeping this in mind, we must set diversifying our eeonomy as our#l priority and providing quality education as its main support.

What will you do for Hawaiians? I will urge continued legislative support of the Hui 'lmi Task Force whieh was organized by the Legislature in 19489 to bring together Hawaiian community organizations in the private and pubic sectors whieh serve Hawaiians. Hui 'Imi is comprised of those people who ean best assess the needs of the Hawaiian community and are readily able to meet those needs. The member organizations are well-respected and established service providers in the areas of health, education, care-giving, job training and

skills development. How should Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination be addressed? This issue must be addressed and resolved by native Hawaiians and the vehicle through whieh significant and important efforts have been made through Hui Na'auao and the Hawaiian Sovereignty Elections Council. Both groups have gained broadbase support throughout the community. I believe the Legislat'ure should support the educational efforts of eaeh group and encourage the cooperation of both and ihe Office of Hawaiian Affairs in providing such education.

Mike Liu (R) Age: 41 Born: Honolulu, Hawai'i Previous poiitical experience: Constitutional Convention Delegate ( 1 978), State House of Representatives (19801982, 1984-1990 [Minority Leaderj), Deputy Under and Assistant Secretary for U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Washington. D.C. (19911993). Employment and eom-

munity service experience: Attorney (1977-1991); Community Reinvestment banking (1993-present); Parents and Children Together (Board Member); Armed Services YMCA (Board Member and Past Chairman); American Diabetes Association, Hawai'i Affiliate (Past Board Member). Whv running for office: I am running to address our current job, education, and environmental needs, within a framework of bringing down our cost of living.

Views on social/economic issues in Hawai'i - • Cost of living: • Housing: • Health: • Jobs: • Education: Some key items I will work for: (a) Tax reform (inflation has most middle ineome people in Hawai'i paying state ineome tax at the highest rate - no adjustments have been made since 19486); (b) Workers compensation accounts for at least 25 percent of new housing construction costs - reduction is needed immediately; (e) Unless small businesses and community-based enterprises are supported by the state, jobs will be lacking for the graduates of the education system - therefore helping small businesses must be a priority of the Legislature. Government and private sector partnerships are needed in the areas of financing and technical assistance. The SBA, Farmers Home Administration, OHA, et. al., all have resources that ean work with the private sector assist entrepreneurs; (d) Make release of S200 million in the special school repair fund a priority for the Dept. of Education. What will you do for Hawaiians? We must identify more resources base for

DHHL and rural 'area infrastructure development. There are federal and private sector dollars available for this purpose whieh have never been tapped for Hawai'i, most notably through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. As a legis!ator 1 ean and will ensure that we foster the necessary partnerships to provide DHHL with adequate sewers, roads, water, electricity and telecommunications.

How should Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination be addressed? Discussion on various sovereignty eoncepts should be accepted. Until there is consensus, no one process should attempt to define what sovereignty will be for all lime. Like all government and eeonomie systems, we must understand that Hawaiian sovereignty will evolve and not remain static.
