PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Kyung-Hoon Koike ? Speculation has persisted that  Koike   a former LDP member and defense minister  would resign to run for a seat in parliament needed to make a bid for the premiership.
“I have been saying I will not run for the election from the beginning ”  Koike  said in an interview with the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Tuesday.
If  Koike  does not personally contest this election  then analysts believe she would hope her party positions itself to win the next national poll  and that she gains a voter boost from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
But  Koike ’s new Party of Hope - launched just last week as a “reformist  conservative” alternative to Abe’s equally conservative LDP - has clouded the outlook amid signs voters are disillusioned with Abe after nearly five years in power.
 Koike ’s dilemma was whether to run for a seat now and face a backlash from voters for quitting as governor little more than a year since she defied the LDP to run successfully for the post  or risk letting a shot at the top job slip through her fingers.
“ Koike  is tough   she ’s resilient and  she  can tap into the fact that Abe’s negative ratings are pretty high and a lot of people out there are unhappy with him ” Kingston said.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lawlor ? Mike Lawlor  undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning in Connecticut   says the delay is unusual and unexplained. Last year Connecticut received about $2.6 million in JAG grants.
"Every single state gets one of these grants and this year not a single state has gotten it and we have repeatedly asked the Department of Justice what's going on "  Lawlor  said. "They consistently can't or won't answer the question so we don't know. We assume it's because they have concerns about sanctuary cities around the country."
At this point though  the DOJ hasn't just missed the disbursement date. States have not even been notified of the grant award  which usually happens around April or May  according to  Lawlor .
"There's going to be more steps that have to take place before the money's actually received  and typically it's about six months from the date of the award until the date you get the check  " Lawlor  said. "And it's important to keep in mind  this is going on in every state in the country. The reddest of red states  you know  Mississippi  Alabama  they're having the same problem."
