Hawaii longshore employers and the union are involved in an unique, cooperative effort to educate workers and help prevent the spread and use of crystal meth (also known as ICE). ICE is a very addictive form of methampetamine which has been crystallized and is smokeable. ICE is a growing and serious problem in Hawaii.
On Kauai, the big win was Senator Gary Hooser’s blowout of former Republican Mayor Maryanne Kusaka. Hooser received 16,274 votes to Kusaka’s 8,270 votes—almost a two to one margin. This was another race expected to be close because of
Governor Lingle’s personal involvement and Republican efforts to target and defeat Hooser.
Hermina Morita (House District 14) Kapaa and Hanalei, also targeted by the Republicans, won re-election by a comfortable
margin of 1,376 votes.
