I feel compelled to write in support of Senator Roz Baker. I cannot understand how a major political party can send out such harsh and negative flyers about Roz. This actually does not sway me to vote for their candidate; not one bit. Instead, it turns me off. Is this a reflection of the candidate the party is supporting? We must support Roz Baker and return her to the Senate. She holds a key position as chairperson of the Senate Ways and Means Committee and has done so much for Maui in her sixteen years serving us. She works well with other State Legislators as well as our representatives in Congress. They are like a football team. One person alone is not able win the game. It's a team effort. At the legislature, you must have a majority supporting you. So, I find it very difficult to believe that one person can accomplish what Roz is accused of not doing. There are many accomplishments as evidence that Roz has the support of other Legislators. Lahainaluna finally has a fabulous new athletic lockerroom and weightroom. Our athletes finally have a decent facility. Soon, a new cafeteria will be built thanks to her support. Roz also manages to attend many of the school and community activities. She is truly one of us. So, vote for Roz Baker on November 4th. We need her in the Senate! |

The race for state senator from West and South Maui has drawn our attention as we want to have Roz Baker back in the capitol and in her powerful position of Chair of the Ways and Means committee. Roz is well known and trusted throughout the state and with a democratic majority firmly set, it would be foolhardy to send someone with little experience and knowledge of the goings on at the capitol. Locally, the economic slump has slowed down tourism and our state revenues and so it is vitally important for us to send experienced senators like Senator Roz Baker back to her job as chair of the Ways and Means committee, the body that handles state financing. Here on Maui, we are far removed from Oahu, similar to Kauai and the Big Isle and we have always needed that edge in negotiations with other Oahu senators for fulfill many of our infrastructure needs. So, it is obvious that neighbor island senators stick together and protect interests important to their island counties. Baker is well known throughout the state.....and during these perilous times, it would be to our advantage to send her back for another term as she will be handling the state budget. Having a person of her wisdom and experience has won her that important position of chair of the money committee of the senate. They know and trust Roz Baker. So do we, the members of the HGEA Union who are solidly behind her. We cannot give up her position at a time when monies will be scarce. We kupuna ask for your kokua and your vote. |
