Continued low turnout and an increase in absentee balloting show that we should be doing more than just testing it on Kauai in 2020.

We’re tired of being dead last when it comes to doing our civic duty, especially since it’s never been easier to get registered and cast a ballot.

We’re still waiting for a sign of organized support for the once-in-a-decade chance to shake up Hawaii’s power structure.

Two measures before the Honolulu City Council, aimed at bringing taxi companies into the modern world, should be approved.

More money and, perhaps, more time will be needed to put in place the much-needed new standards panel.
