[Q]: Patricia Blair: Instead of coming across as an insensitive hater, try tapping into the Aloha Spirit & have some empathy.

Public servants, especially on the Congressional level are saturated with many problems, cares & concerns. I would venture to say that it is quite a demanding job, especially for those who serve from Hawaii, having to travel all the way to D.C.

Mark Takai made a promise to his constituents & to the State of Hawaii to serve his term. He is keeping his promise. Many politicians who get voted into office, find a better opportunity, bails out of the office BEFORE their term ends. Then the public is outraged, for lack of commitment.

So, even in the face of a life threatening illness. Mark could step down, but then we the taxpayers would have to foot the bill for the special election!

Furthermore, what specific votes did Mark miss? We're those votes crucial for Hawaii? How many votes that had something to do with Hawaii did Mark miss?

HAMAU! (Peace be still!) Aloha!
[A]: No


[Q]: And once again an Oregon governmental body demonstrates its incompetence in the world of computers.  

The State of Oregon:  Cover Oregon, the DMV, the Employment Department, the Department of Human Services (Child Welfare system) , the Department of Administrative services (multiple systems over ten plus years); all have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars because they aren't smart enough to define what they want in a computer system contract or monitor what they actually are getting.  Portland also has the water billing snafu back in its history as well.
[A]: No
