ConCon debate video from Kona

[Big Island Video News]

I wanted to share this link with this network, since I think it would be of interest to everyone here.

Its from last week, and can be seen here http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/20081021concon.htm on Big Island Video News.

The debate is between Mark Spengler (for) and Diane Aoki (against) and is moderated by Sherry Bracken.

Enjoy!

WOW!! I wish I had made time to be there in person. After watching that clip I am even more pro con con than ever before. Not because of Marks ability to speak clearly, but because Diane's only reasoning for no was "Because it would cost too much". She already admitted that we have a problem with the State budget but has no fix for it other than making more cuts. Even the best piece of steak will turn into plain old hamburger if you cut it enough. We have a major problem, we have the means to fix it, why don't these people want to fix it?

Good Job Mark!

I wish Ms. Aoki had been clearer in her representation of the HSTA's and Hawaii Alliance's rationale for voting against the Con Con.
