Whoever acknowledges this fact has my vote. The HSTA's board's endorsement of Cayetano for governor is regrettable for many reasons. It is again one more act of arrogance by the power elite in this state to preserve positions at the expense of the values given lip service to. Per HSTA's own polls, a vast majority of all teachers support a fundamental change in governance through their support of Linda Lingle. But now they will see HSTA use their dues to pay for expensive ads which will imply support where none exists.
Individual teachers have little recourse except their own vote.
Governor deserves thanks for cutting state taxes Changing the tax brackets and rates will really help people like me who will now pay less taxes. I wish the tax cuts were more but I am really glad that Governor Cayetano at least got something through the Legislature. Abercrombie has clearly made his choice between saving the Constitution or saving the president. Apparently, lying under oath in civil depositions and to a federal grand jury is not impeachable, according to Abercrombie. The sound and fury created by the penetratingly sharp outburst registered by Rep. Patsy Mink at last week's congressional hearings must have created wonderment to some House members as to whether she might need the services of Queen's Hospital or some similar institution.
