State government must be innovative and work cooperatively with the private sector to ensure everyone in our community has:
-
Equal opportunities in education, jobs, healthcare and affordable housing
-
Equal protection under the law in our criminal justice system
-
Environmental justice in the use and development of our natural resources
-
Improved capacity for self-reliance for food and energy
-
Equal access to a safety net for food assistance and temporary housing when times get tough
-
Safe streets with improved accessibility and mobility for multiple modes of transport, including commercial vehicles, cars, bicycles, wheelchairs, and pedestrians
-
Sustainable public hospital facilities in North Kohala, Hamakua, Kona, Hilo and Kau that work hand-in-hand with private hospitals like North Hawaii Community Hospital to provide the healthcare services needed in our community
