  • Bob Mcdermott Ewa Beach - Legislative Wrap Up!
    State Representative Bob McDermott Ewa Beach - Legislative Wrap Up! Campbell H.S. Gets New Athletic Complex from the Legislature! Working with Senator Fevella (above right), speaking with one voice, we were able to secure $6.29M for a new James Campbell High School Athletic Complex, starting with the track and football field. This in addition to the $1M that was released last November for planning and design of the above facility. We thank the majority leadership of both chambers. The JCHS Athletic Facility Master Plan and the anticipated build-out of the Campbell Athletic Complex will be essential to the success of our athletic programs and student morale. This new athletic complex will be touching the lives of tens of thousands of individuals, both young and old. The Ewa Beach community has been waiting for five decades for an adequate and equitable athletic complex and our time has finally arrived. The genesis of the request for the JCHS Athletic Facility Master Plan was to develop a "Campbell Athletic Complex" for the use of all Ewa Beach DOE schools including Campbell, the two middle schools, and the seven elementary schools, as well as the community. As such the intent of the Campbell Athletic Complex is to serve the athletic needs of the Ewa Beach community and not just JCHS. Sen. Fevella and Rep. McDermott on the joint money committees, speaking with one powerful voice Campbell High School Gender Equity Update As the father of a daughter at Campbell High School, I am pleased to inform you that your legislative team of Rep.

    Women’s Legislative Caucus STATE CAPITOL HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 NEWS RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Thelma Dreyer, 808-586-6261 Date: September 17, 2014 REVISED HPD CHIEF CANCELS MEETING WITH HAWAII WOMEN'S LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS AND WOMEN HONOLULU CITY COUNCILMEMBERS HONOLULU – The Hawaii Women's Legislative Caucus today announced that they received a call from the Honolulu Police Department's (HPD) Chief of Police’s office canceling Thursday’s meeting with the Women’s State Legislative Caucus and three women members of the Honolulu City Council. A representative of the Women’s Caucus spoke with the office of Chief of Police Louis M. Kealoha to ask that the commitment to meet with the women on Thursday be honored. “The purpose of Thursday’s meeting was for the Women’s Legislative Caucus and the three women city councilmembers to have the opportunity to speak with Chief Kealoha directly," said Senate President Donna Mercado Kim, a member of the Women’s Caucus. "We hoped to work cooperatively with the police to strengthen efforts to end domestic violence and keep victims safe. We wanted to discuss concerns and questions about HPD’s internal policies and procedures regarding domestic violence cases, especially when one of their own officers is a suspect that has been brought to us by victims’ service providers." “The Women’s Legislative Caucus and women Honolulu City Councilmembers asked for the opportunity to discuss these issues with Chief Kealoha prior to the public informational briefing so that he could be prepared to respond fully in public, and to, hopefully, open the door to improved partnerships and outcomes in domestic violence cases," said Senate President Kim.

The discussion will be moderated by Beth-Ann Kozlovich, Executive Producer Talk Shows, Hawaii Public Radio. All of us want to live in a high quality, affordable, people-friendly environment with open space, quality housing, and even preserve farmland for sustainable agriculture. Urban design can be a grass-roots activity, with communities participating with professionals in the design of their local environment. How do we explain the growing affordable housing shortage while luxury condominiums sprout for the wealthy? We'll ask the panelists to bring us up to date both on how Honolulu has been planned in the past and to what extent citizens have participated. But more important, since we are advocates: How can citizens participate in urban planning so they don't feel they are simply the victims of it? How do we guarantee walkable streets, open spaces, and an environment welcoming to children, adults and senior citizens? And finally, how might we become involved in current and future planning of our own living environment? Let's learn from our panel how this might be accomplished in Honolulu.
