State Funding for Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney

Thank you so much to Governor Neil Abercrombie for releasing over $1.8 million for the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu on Thursday, January 10, 2013. The funding will help the department in its key role in state mandated programs such as Career Criminal Prosecution, Drug Court, HOPE Probation (Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement), and Victim Witness Assistance.

Thank you to the following legislators who moved our funding bill through the Hawaii State Legislature: House Speaker Calvin Say, House Finance Committee Chair Marcus Oshiro, House Judiciary Committee Chair Gilbert S.C. Keith-Agaran, Senate President Shan Tsutsui, Senate Ways and Means Committee Chair David Ige, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Clayton Hee.

Also, mahalo to all the vice chairs and members of the Hawaii State Legislature for their support of our funding bill in the committees and on the floors of the House and Senate.

We will continue to work hard to keep our community safe. Thank you so much!
