Legislative Update

Recently, I attended Governor Lingle's State of the State address.

In the meantime, I have been working tirelessly on my bills, many dealing with our economy. Fifteen of my bills were decked today. Last week, I personally met with Senators on the second floor to get my companion bills introduced. Usually staff would be doing this, but I felt it would be better if I personally pushed for my bills. Moreover, it gave me a chance to work with Senators who did not know me too well.

Today, the State of the Judiciary address was done by Chief Justice Moon. The Chief Justice had to correct an error Governor Lingle made in her State of the State address.

I got out of a finance briefing at 8:30 p.m.
