  • 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.

Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1.
