Hats off to Rep. LoPresti for his efforts to improve ethical standards in Hawaii's government.  However, his statement that "It's a mystery" how "half the things here die" to include his and other bills that failed is very disappointing.  One would think taking the time to craft and present a bill would make that legislator very interested in knowing all the reasons behind its demise.  Finally, we all deserve better answers than "It's a mystery."
