This was the week of The Civil Beat Poll. We surveyed 1,152 likely voters in Hawaii to find out what they think of APEC, our governor, president and mayor.
We also reported on steps being taken to move homeless encampments off the routes between Honolulu International Airport and Waikii in advance of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
Next week, look for the special report, “Taken for a ride,” which digs into why Hawaii taxpayers are spending so much on school bus services. Reporters Katherine Poythress and Michael Levine have built a database that led us to a startling discovery.
