  • Legislative Recap
    2018 LEGISLATIVE RECAP 2 Hawai‘i Public Health Institute 2018 Legislative Recap UNITED BY THE SPIRIT OF aloha Hawai‘i has been hit hard by several disasters this year including a false ballistic missile alert that sent residents and visitors into a panic. Then, in April and May, back-to-back events caused widespread damage and displacement from flash flooding in Kaua‘i and East Honolulu and from the lava outbreaks on the Big Island. Although many are facing tremendous emotional and financial challenges as a result of these events, one thing is evident: our island state continues to be united by the spirit of aloha. At the Hawai‘i Public Health Institute, we are driven by our mission to improve the quality of life for the people of Hawai‘i. Inspired by the tireless commitment of our advocates and partners, we will continue to fight for solutions that advance health and health equity in our state. Much of that fight happens at the state legislature. While news outlets focused their attention on a few big and sometimes controversial issues, our 2018 Legislative Recap shines the light on a number of major health and health-related issues that you may not have heard about. We hope you find this piece informative and that it inspires you to be an engaged, active participant in the legislative process. 2018 alohaLegislative Recap Hawai‘i Public Health Institute 3 NATIONAL & LOCAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE Less than two months after passage of President Trump’s signature tax cut bill that largely benefits the wealthiest Americans, the president proposed a 2019 budget that cuts basic resources which help millions of struggling families obtain health care, put food on the table, and assist with rent.

  • Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy of Washington, D.C
    HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED This poll was conducted for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy of Washington, D.C. from July 6 through July 11, 2018. A total of 800 registered Hawaii voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. All stated they vote regularly in state elections. Those interviewed were selected randomly from a telephone-matched Hawaii voter registration list that included both land line and cell phone numbers. Quotas were assigned to reflect voter registration by county. The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than ± 3.5 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if all voters were surveyed. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or age grouping. 1 Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy – July 2018 Hawaii Poll STATEWIDE NAME RECOGNITION Do you recognize the name ________?

It would be grossly shortsighted to consider their removal. The reasons to preserve them are too many to count. This is the Eiffel Tower of Hawaii; and a historical monument. Beyond the attraction, it is a place of deep transformative power. Thousands of lives are forever, dramatically changed for the better because of an experience on that mountain. Each of the 3,922 stairs protect Pu’ukeahiakahoe from erosion from thousands of footsteps, which is a severe problem on the unprotected and dangerous ‘backside’ - Moanalua Valley Trail. With the exception of one heart attack, the only deaths recorded on the Stairway to Written Heaven have been from hikers attempting to do it ‘legally’ - Testimony dangerously. The City and County cements a tragic fate for many more hikers to come were the only relatively safe way to reach the top destroyed. Managed access to Ke Kula ‘o Samuel M. Kamakau Laboratory Public Charter School has been successful in keeping parents and students from crawling over fences and through yards on their way to school. Any reasonable person will concede that managed access to another destination in the valley (Haiku Stairs) can alleviate the burden the neighborhood currently suffers with.
