Na Kai Ewalu 2008 Year in Review – 10 Jan. 2009
January 15, 2009 by admin
Let’s be real, nobody is ready to face a new year on January 1, so this week we concentrated on great Hawaiian music and eased ourselves into 2009 by glancing back at ‘08. What a year! For Vickie and many of the rest of us, the election of Barack Obama was the biggest single event, but Senator Daniel Inouye now as the top ranking U.S. Senator and Senator Daniel Akaka as head of Veterans Affairs make a triple combination that definitely raises Hawai’i’s influence in Washington. The Hawai’i State Legislature will open its 2009 session soon and Kaho’onei will be in the thick of it, working on Hawaiian issues for East Maui Representative Mele Carroll. Let’s all drop by her office and say hi! Kaho’onei mentioned the work of the Hawai’i Pono’i Coalition in this program, you can find out more about them at www.huiohawaiiponoi.org.
