LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

1) What single issue facing Native Hawaiians concerns you the most and how would you address that issue as the lieutenant governor?

1. Land use issues: As House Minority Leader, I supported the ceded lands settlement. I also appreciate DHHL's work to turn decades of backlog into the fulfilled dreams for Hawaiian families. As Lieutenant Governor, I will work to secure lasting arrangements whieh plaee proper land use rights with our native people. 1. Foreclosures on and off Hawaiian Home Lands. I will eall for a moratorium on ALL foreclosures and STRONGLY urge financial institutions to modify or refinance all loans at 2 percent through the development and implementation of their own guidelines on the use "stimulus" dollars. I SUPPORT A MORATORIUM ON THE SALE OF CEDED LANDS. 1. Akaka bill passage. When I was coordinating the Obama campaign, I worked successfully with Hawaiian leaders to get the support of Barack Obama for the Akaka bill. It was a major breakthrough, as Obama said, "to fulfill this promise." We must work together to ensure the passage occurs.
