Yes, but there are other importantwater uses, and commercial uses should getsome water to support eeonomicgrowth and employment. £ Surveys have shown that Hawaii's legislative and executive branches are considered among the most corrupt in the nation. A major component of that corruption is how our tax dollars are spent. We are in debt and that debt is growing. I will propose mueh clearer reporting of the state's budget and spending, whieh will begin the process for more accountable government. _!► DISTRICTS

There is no policy that is going to correct that. If we truly believe that Government is Of the People, By the People and For the People then the only path to change is We the People need to believe that the power lies within us to make that change.

A Yes, but there are other importantwater uses, and commercial uses should getsomewatertosupport eeonomie growth and employment. E The fixed costs to run government are rising and taking away funds for programs and services. In order to get funds, we need a strong economy. I believe we need to work with all sectors that contribute to our economy. This includes supporting career pathways whieh bridges high school and higher education including vocational and technical training. Our businesses need an educated workforce. Our children need hope for a brighter future.

1. Yes 2 Is too low and should be increased 3, Yes, it would allow communities to maintain traditional practices and subsistence lifestyles,

while guiding the harvesting practices of others. i Yes, for decades plantation interests have diverted streams to the detriment of communities and the natural resources they rely upon. £ Truth, the people do not believe in government any longer. Life is mueh more difficult then ever before and our leaders are not serving the people they serve special interest and the people know it. Legislation that actually beneifits the people. new hospital in west maui new public elementary and middle schools.

They have acted on their own needs instead of engagingthe community and workingwith them on both short and long term soulutions. A policy of reasserting control over the agencies and forcing them to engage and work with the publicshould be implemented if they won't work to provide the projects and services that are truly needed.

should be balanced with the recreational and commercial needs of others, including visitors. 4. Yes, but there are other importantwater uses, and commercial uses should getsomewatertosupport eeonomie growth and employment. 5. Laws and Bills need to be straight forward and written so that not only lawyers know what they mean. They then become easier to administer, so trustworthy and transparency is important. Our tax dollars are being in appropriately allocated and we do not appear to know about it or have a ehoiee. Good example: the Kihei High School will be one of the most expensive built in the nation persquare foot by a large amount.

STATE REP. I DISTRICT 13 NIKHILANANDA. NICK GREEN

sisience nresiyies, while guiding the harvesting practices of others. 4.Yes, for decades plantation interests have diverted streams to the detriment of communities and the natural resources they rely upon. 5. The biggest barrier to serving is the exorbitant cost of standing for office. I would push for campaign finance reform and public financing ofelections. This way, candidates would not have to beg for donations from wealthy individuals tied to the large landowners, multi-national developers and those who wanttosee Hawai 'i continue down the road toward a population ofthose who have and those who serve those who have.With the ability to run for office opened to a larger cross section of our community, it will change the dynamics of the State legislature and County Councils.

E I believe truly listeningto the wishes ofthe people— actually engagingthem in dialogue-would help the legislators to know what their constituents really think.

If we had lots of money, we could work in partnerships with private industry to developmenthousing.The Kauai's Lima Ola Workforce Housing will be an example of how that might work for the whole State. Governmentand private industry work together to acquire the land and infrastructure, so costs to homeowners will be very affordable.

Yes, but there are other importantwater uses, and commercial uses should getsomewatertosupport eeonomie growth and employment. 5. 1) The way the legislature handles conflictsofinterestshould be changed; the law is writtenso broadly thatalmost any perceived conflict is technically OK. The law needs to be tightened up and enforced. 2) The legislature needs more transparency, that is itshould let the public know about legislative hearings on a mueh more timely basis, and have status of bills updated more quickly; and 3)Thirdly, there should be no closed doors at the Capitol and all hearings and floorsessions should be recorded and streamed to the public just like CSPAN does atthe federal level.

sisierioe iuesiyies, while guiding the harvesting practices of others. 4 Yes, but there are other important water uses, and commercial uses should get some water to support eeonomicgrowth and employment. 5 Government needs to live within its means just like the rest of us do. Too mueh governmentspending hurts people struggling to make a living. People need to be able to provide for their families and feel confidentaboutspending in our loeal economy. Seniors on fixed ineome cannot afford higher taxes and fees. Businesses need to be able to hold onto their workers and hire new ones. Furthermore, I believe that major taxand fee increases would notstimulate the economy.

Yes, but there are other importantwater uses, and commercial uses should getsomewatertosupport eeonomicgrowth and employment. £ The challenges we face today are complex and require the balancing of many competing factors and diverse stakeholders. While special interest groups (whether "left" or "right," "progressive" or "conservative," "Democrat" or "Republican," "Main Street" or "Wall Street") would like to enact headlinegrabbing policies, we actually need thoughtful leaders who are willing to work through complex issues, find solutions that may involve compromises, and - when necessary - make the tough decisions.There is not"one"policy that ean ensure we have better leaders - except that we need to have a more engaged citizenry that is willing to hold their leaders accountable.

Availability of government services is a significant barrier. Not to say there is a laek of services, but the offices and personnel that assist people in obtainingservices are generally only open when most residents are also working. I feel that government offices should stagger employee schedules so that offices ean be open earlier, later and on weekends. This allows people working a full time job to get help without missing work (and pay).

E LISTEN - As elected officials we are to listen and serve the people. All lawmakers must be aware that we are employees for the people. This is government by the people for the people. The policy I would recommend is to dedicate our entire recess week during the legislative session in March to meet and LISTEN to our constituents and provide them with a plan of action -solutions. Lawmakers are only to meet with constituents during this time.

No one should be put into this position. Additionally, the government ean only serve as many people as are alertand engaged.Therefore the public has a responsibility to participate and moreover, more qualified individuals ought to run for office so they ean support neglected causes or bring light to marginalized issues.

Onee elected, I will have an in district office when the legislative session is out. Many residents do not have the luxury to sit in traffic, find parking and wait all day to speak to their Representative. Having an office close to them makes access and availablilty easier. I will also initiate a "home visit" request. This is where I will personally visit residents at their home to discuss issues.

Makingsure no empty bills are introduced, public vetting of bills and creating a strong culture of openness will help improve trust in the legislative process.

If anyone ean think of any other way I ean be even more accessible to constituents, l'm all ears. In my first term in office we passed bills that made it easier for citizens to access the legislative process and have a voice by implementing a system for remote testimony for neighbor islanders as well. I've also pursued legislation that would strengthen ethics loopholes in the legislature and increase transparency and access to public information.

The biggest barrier to serving the people is getting the leaders to understand the concepts of leadership and service. (1) you ean not serve people you don't know. This entails getting out and being with the people regularly and realizing and accepting different perspectives (2) you ean serve people if you aren't willing to work. Many people in government have different views on whatservice is and how to go about serving the people. There is no policy that ean teach people leadership and service. It is a personal ehoiee to educate oneself and lead by example.
