  • The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of 20 II HOUSE OF
    The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of20II HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Committee on Health Rep. Ryan 1. Yamane, Chair Rep. Dee Morikawa, Vice Chair State Capitol, Conference Room 329 Tuesday, March 22, 2011; 9:00 a.m. STATEMENT OF THE ILWU LOCAL 142 ON S.B.1086, SD1 RELATING TO CONSUMER INFORMATION The ILWU Local 142 strongly supports S.B. 1086, SD1, which requires sliced, sandwich-style bread products that have been baked and then frozen to be labeled "previously frozen" and prohibits bread that has been frozen to be labeled or advertised as "fresh." The II.WU represents almost 300 members who work at Love's Bakery in production, driver-sales, office clerical work, and the thrift stores. Many ofthem have worked at the bakery for many years under various owners. Today, the company is owned and managed by a local team that invested its own money to keep this manufacturing company viable. For 160 years, Love's Bakery has put fresh sandwich bread on our table. It was only in the last decade that previously frozen bread took over a greater share ofthe market. However, the consumer was never informed that the previously frozen bread was baked on the mainland, then frozen and later thawed before sale. The consumer did not have the information needed to make an informed choice. This lack ofinformation has given previously frozen bread an unfair advantage over fresh bread. S.B. 1086, SDI will require that packaging ofpreviously frozen and thawed sliced, sandwich-style bread be imprinted with the words "previously frozen." With this information, consumers can ask their own questions, then make an informed decision about which bread to purchase.

  • 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.
