I was on the Political Action Committee during the 2002 and 2006 elections. During those days we were really taking a beating from some teachers who supported Lingle. Now I hope people understand what we were saying.
Some supported her because they were unhappy of the bureaucracy of the state and the DOE. But six years later little has changed. Why? It is not because of the democratic legislative majority. It is because she is unable to have a vision of Hawaii. While she talked of downsizing government she did nothing. While she talked of finding people willing to take a cut in pay to serve she gave them raises. Help education? She has done the most to hurt education by attacking teachers and cutting funding.
She has given us an administration that has made poor decisions. Has been losing cases in court. And is trying to govern with sound bites and public relations. Avoiding tough decisions and making minor ones seem important.
“ Don’t blame me, I voted for Lingle.” Now are you willing to accept the blame?
