Waipahu’s First Legislative Town Meeting

I organized Waipahu’s first town meeting held by its legislators. The topic was “Legislative Wrap-Up.” The meeting was held yesterday, Tuesday, May 20, 2003 at the Waipahu Intermediate School Cafeteria from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M.

The legislators participating were Senators Cal Kawamoto, Brian Kanno, and Willie Espero, and Representatives Alex Sonson, Tulsi Gabbard Tamayo, and Jon Riki Karamatsu. I moderated the meeting and had each legislator give a summary of what happened this past legislative session. We covered a wide range of issues and finished the last half hour of the meeting with questions and answers.

At the town meeting, Waipahu Intermediate School’s social studies teacher brought a display of the students work regarding history. They are raising money to help some of their students attend “History Day” in Washington D.C.

The event was enjoyable. Approximately fifty people attended that night.
