Carroll first tells stories about two different, and very positive, encounters he had with police officers this week. One involved a wallet Carroll found on the street. The officer tracked down the owner at the airport and returned it to him. The second involved an officer who was called after a man who brings his dogs to Sand Island Park and repeatedly allowed the dogs to kill cats found in the park for over a year was identified.
Carroll's guest today is Eric Ryan from the Hawaii Republican Assembly (HIRA). For more information about HIRA, visit www.hawaiirepulicanassembly.org
Per Eric, HIRA is a group of people who feel disenfranchised from the Republican Party, and are trying to fix political corruption within the GOP as well as counteract corruption in the Democratic Party. HIRA has a lot to say about both Democrats and Republicans, and they want to find solutions that will fix Hawaii for everyone. Eric also talks about why there are not more Republicans in Hawaii.
Eric then discusses why Kymberly Pine, a Republican, is making donations to Democrats running for office against Republican candidates, using the example of Cedric Gates and Matthew Lopresti, both Democrats running for State House seats. They talk about big development on the Waianae Coast, and Cedric Gates's failure to report donations made to his campaign by developers. They also talk about the lies politicians tell, and how lies have become acceptable and even expected.
Carroll notes a good Republican Party will give us much needed checks and balances across the aisles.
