Senator Will Espero on Kukui Connection

Senator Will Espero (District 20: Ewa Beach, Ewa by Gentry, Ocean Pointe, Ewa Villages, West Loch, Honouliuli, Lower Waipahu) will be Rep. Marilyn Lee's next guest on The Kukui Connection. The major topic of the program is the controversial fireworks issue. The show airs on December 19, 2010 and repeats on January 2, 2011, Olelo Channel 54, Sundays at 4:00 p.m.

On fireworks, the two veteran lawmakers discuss the fireworks bill passed by the Honolulu City Council earlier this year and the Illegal Fireworks Task Force chaired by Senator Espero and House Rep. Faye Hanohano. The task force meets for the last time on December 13th and will present a report to the legislature with recommendations in January.

Other critical issues for the district include the development of UH West Oahu, slated to open in 2012, the new Disney Hotel - Aulani, a new prison on Maui, and what to do about the Hawaii prisoners on the mainland.
