Get ready. Student test scores may rise or stay even. Furloughs may give students needed incentive to study harder.

The future of Hawaii is worth MORE than a Hurricane Fund or a Rail Fund.

If you think about it, should the Hurricane Fund need to be used, it would end up in the Union's pockets.

And we all know the Rail Fund is going directly into the Unions pockets.

We need to invest in the education of the future of Hawaii, so that we can break away from the Union-Working Stiff, Proletariat, Leninist marching, cow-towing, rubber-stamping, mufi smooching mindset so prevalent in Honolulu and Hawaii, resulting in an over representation of Democratic hacks, like Todd Apo, and other folks that sell out the People.

If you want to keep kids in school, keep them in school and furlough the teachers during non- instructional days. (conf. days, prep days, summer time, breaks - spring, winter, etc.) This should not be rocket science.

furloughs, rail expenses, UH shortfall are all an easy fix. Linda Lingle and Mufi need to simply get together and in a 3 step program, all will be fixed.

1.) bet all the state budget for remaining fiscal year on Nevada to beat the spread this weekend against UH.

2.) commission wyland to paint and sell a few of his $700K paintings, and put those for sale to fund rail. budget fixed!

3.) stage a mud wrestling even between lingle and mufi. all proceeds go to UH to fix buildings and support the campuses.

HOW EASY!!!
