Shafter Moanalua Gardens Moanalua Valley Halawa Aiea Senator Donna Mercado Kim Selected as Senate President Senate Vice President Donna Mercado Kim (Sen. District 14) has been selected as the President of the Senate and will preside during the 27th Hawaii State Legislature, which will convene on January 16, 2013. Senator Ronald D. Kouchi (Sen. District 8) will serve as Senate Vice President. Senator David Ige (Sen. District 16) will continue as Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, with Senator Michelle Kidani (Sen. District 18) serving as his Vice Chair. On Dec. 27, 2012, former state Senate President Shan S. Tsutsui accepted the position of Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii, effective immediately under the order of succession. The office was vacated on Dec. 26, 2012 by the appointment of former Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to the U.S. Senate. The Senate acted quickly to organize after Maui State Senator Shan Tsutsui (Sen. District 5) took the oath of office as Lieutenant Governor yesterday. The Senate line up remains mostly intact to allow members continuity in their committee work as the Senate has been preparing for the upcoming session. "We are solidified in dealing with the pressing issues facing our State. The Senate continues to be organized in a cooperative and focused manner. I’m humbled to receive the confidence and support of my colleagues" said Senate President Kim. "We reached an agreement quickly so that we can continue to focus our attention on the issues and begin preparations for the 2013 session," said Senate Vice President Kouchi.

  • February 9, 2018 Mr. Laurence Schott, Senior Director Government
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE OF HAWAII STATE CAPITOL HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 February 9, 2018 Mr. Laurence Schott, Senior Director Government Affairs, West Region Charter Communications 10450 Pacific Center CT San Diego, California 92121 Dear Mr. Schott: RE: OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED PUBLIC, EDUCATION, AND GOVERNMENT (PEG) CHANNEL LOCATION CHANGES ‘Ōlelo Community Media, O‘ahu’s non-profit PEG access provider, has been serving our communities for nearly 30 years. Like all other PEGs in the state, ‘Ōlelo is committed to the principles of hyper local programming and freedom of speech. The channel numbers used by all of our PEGs have been established for 20-plus years. People know exactly where to find them. But Spectrum’s forced channel relocation will abruptly change this, causing severe channel confusion that will begin in neighborhoods across O‘ahu, and spread throughout the state. Charter Communications/Spectrum’s decision to relocate Public, Education, and Government (PEG) channels on O‘ahu is not in the best interest of our citizens and is not in the best interest of serving cable subscribers in Hawai‘i. Spectrum’s forced ‘Ōlelo channel change will pave the way for forced channel changes to all other PEGs in the State of Hawai‘i - Nā Leo on Hawai‘i County, Akakū on Maui County, and Ho‘ike on Kaua‘i County. The hyper local programming ‘Ōlelo provides includes City Council meetings, legislative hearings and sessions, community town halls, non-profit programs, and local stories produced by community media makers. In fact, ‘Ōlelo provides the only local channel on O‘ahu dedicated to government programs, an essential tool for ensuring government transparency.
