We can whine about Oahu's rail fiasco, crumbling roads, crowded schools, etc..., but the issue is the lack of representation and accountability in the leadership positions at the legislature.

Why do the people of Maui (12% of the state population and economy) still have so much power at the legislature?

Roz Baker (queen), Kouchi (king), Kahele (knight), Keith-Aragan (bishop), Inouye (bishop), English (knight) and other outer island senators continue to hold the power and call the shots. Meanwhile, the representatives of the people of Oahu dawdle on the sidelines as pariahs/outcasts or lazy cowards. Our problems fester and spread. We are the pawns.

Why do representatives of the people on outer-islands (30% of total) rule over the people of Oahu (70%)? Why are we so weak?

To the Oahu delegation: Come on guys, step up or step aside for Oahu respresentatives who want to lead! If not, maybe it's time to join the exodus from Oahu and move to Maui or the Big Island. Sad.
