Honolulu Star Advertiser: 5 Questions: Camron Hurt, of Common Cause Hawaii
What aspect of “good government” does Hawaii do well, and where does it need the most improvement?
Hawaii is truly a dynamic state. Areas of good governance that Hawaii does well include human rights as well as establishing safe avenues for citizen participation in democracy.
However, this is simply not enough as we continue to struggle with participation in democracy, transparency and strategic vision. Perhaps the aspect of good governance that is most missing from our state would be strong and pragmatic anti-corruption safeguards and laws.
