Lingle must resign

Dear Editor,

I believe that Governor Lingle must resign. By reading the various forums on your web site it seems to me that she has done something that is unforgivable. She has turned the people of Hawaii against each other. People in Hawaii have assumed an attitude of us versus them. That what happens to us should happen to them. She has taken forums that were previously used for open discussion into forums of personal attacks. Personal attacks should not be the language of discussion or disagreements. It should be the job of the governor to unite the people of Hawaii.
There is a lot of misinformation around now and it seems that the governor is not willing to clarify any of it. That many people believe what she says makes more important that she be giving accurate and unbiased information.
But lastly to demand cuts in the education budget or to suggest using that money to balance the budget and then finding out that she has only applied for the funds now to me is inexcusable. We need a leader that unites us against the problems of society not one content with divisiveness.
