  • Hawai'i Prepares for Budget Life Without Dan Inouye
    How to Replace a Lion? Hawai‘i Prepares for Budget Life without Dan Inouye Todd L. Belt University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Introduction Though Neil Abercrombie had served as governor of Hawai‘i for a little over two years, his first full state budget finally made its way through the legislature in the spring of 2013. Shortly after his inauguration in 2010, Abercrombie was forced to introduce a budget prepared by his Republican predecessor, reflecting her priorities. Because Hawai‘i’s budgets are biennial, Aber- crombie could only work with the legislature on adjustments during the past two legislative ses- sions, foregoing many new programs. Making the problem of promoting his own priorities even more difficult was the fact that the budget had to be revised down due to poorer than expected revenue projections in his second year in office. The FY 2013–2015 budget was the first to fully reflect the spending priorities of Governor Abercrombie. These included his “New Day” initiatives, such as universal preschool and a pro- gram to stimulate small business. These initiatives lost a bit of steam as the state shuffled to fill in lost revenue from the federal budget sequester as well as lost federal largesse that flowed from the efforts of US Senator Dan Inouye, who directed billions in federal dollars to the islands. In the end, the governor could claim a few victories, and the legislature began the hard work of dealing with mounting postemployment benefit liabilities for retired state workers. State of the Economy The economic recovery in Hawai‘i was slow but steady leading up to the 2013 legislative session.

  • New Leadership for Hawai'i and Prospects for Policy Change
    New Leadership for Hawai‘i and Prospects for Policy Change Todd L. Belt1 University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Colin D. Moore University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Introduction Hawai‘i’s slow economic recovery continued throughout 2014. Despite the improving eco- nomic news, voters ousted their brash and combative sitting governor Neil Abercrombie in the Democratic primary. The humble, unassuming state Senator David Ige rolled to a general elec- tion victory. The new governor, an electrical engineer by training and a veteran chair of the Sen- ate Ways and Means Committee, looked to bring less in terms of policy change and more in terms of approach to governance. Governor Ige was inaugurated on December 1, 2014, and his biennial budget was released on December 22. The original request reflected a status-quo budget prepared by the outgoing Aber- crombie administration. In late January 2015, Ige’s administration put together an amended budget that slightly increased budgetary requests based on expected revenue increases. Recalling the previous years’ experience of overestimated revenues, the legislature passed a conservative budget largely similar to the governor’s budget request with few alterations or new programs. State of the Economy Through 2015, economic recovery in Hawai‘i remained slow, with GDP growth since 2010 at or a bit below two percent per year (DBEDT 2015a). Unemployment continued its downward trend since its high of 7.1 percent in September of 2009. As of the end of the legislative session in May of 2015, the rate stood at 3.9 percent, still a bit above its historical average during better times (see Figure 1).

    Patricia Saiki U.S. Representative of Hawaii (1987–1991) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript September 20, 2018 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “But when you present instances or examples where they are personally involved one way or another then the whole attitude changes. And so in politics, that’s what it is, isn’t it? It’s personal. You know, you can take any issue, but it doesn’t matter unless it affects you in some way or another. And I always took that as a way to reach people. I don’t care whether they’re Republican or Democrat or independent. It takes the issue and the persons involved, and you can make changes if you have a positive way of handling any serious question.” Patricia Saiki September 20, 2018 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iv Interview 1 Notes 46 Abstract Patricia Saiki’s path to Capitol Hill began in Hawaii, where she was born to Japanese-American parents in 1930. While raising five children, she worked as a teacher, union organizer, and state legislator before winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986. She was the first Republican and second woman to represent Hawaii in Congress since statehood. In this interview, she discusses her long political career, providing insight into Hawaiian state politics, her legislative strategies as an elected representative at the state and federal level, and the role of women in American politics during the 1970s and 1980s.

    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

  • A Tribute to Patsy Takemoto Mink
    A Tribute to Patsy Takemoto Mink INTRODUCTION Tania Cruz* & Eric K. Yamamoto+ Patsy Takemoto Mink’s life generated a wave of praise for her work as a congressional and community leader. Upon her passing, numerous politicians, women’s groups and civil rights organizations reflected on her lifelong accomplishments, celebrating what an inspiration she had been to women and minorities throughout Hawai`i and the nation. As the first woman of color in Congress, Patsy committed her life to fighting for women’s rights and the rights of the poor and disenfranchised. Through her resounding voice, she ensured that the voices of those whom society had silenced would be heard. Yet, Patsy did more than speak about these causes—her life’s work was a testament to what she believed in and spoke so vehemently about in public. Patsy’s dedication to social justice was extraordinary. For even when the tide of public opinion was against her, she held steadfast to her beliefs and to her mission. Even after her death, her life continues to inspire people who sought to ensure her enduring legacy. In early 2003, four young women of color inspired by Patsy’s work—Tannaz Simyar, Della Au Belatti, Annie Lee and Tania Cruz—with the guidance of Professor Eric Yamamoto and support of Dean Lawrence Foster, conceived of and organized a tribute to Patsy to celebrate her many accomplishments and also to continue the social justice mission she began so many years earlier. On March 13, 2003, the William S. Richardson School of Law hosted “A Tribute to Patsy Mink.” The event, while paying tribute to Patsy, was far more than that.
