    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.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    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.
