Our Priorities
Teaching our Keiki

The Road To Home
To provide housing for Hawai‘i over the next several years, the state housing agencies will continue to leverage state funds and reduce regulatory barriers to increase the inventory of affordable housing.
Preserving our ʻĀina
The Sustainable Hawai‘i Initiative focuses on protecting our waters, preserving our land and increasing food production for our communities.

Here in Cebu, you gotta eat like the locals! Ate balut for the first time and I really enjoyed it. Dawn liked hers too!
I’m incredibly grateful and thankful to the Filipino Chamber of Commerce delegates for making this trip to the Philippines a truly memorable experience. Big mahalo to Brandon Dela Cuz, Consul General Gina Jamoralin & Bennette Misalucha for organizing this trip. I hope there will be more opportunities to travel back to this beautiful country. Before we went back to Manila, we stopped at Fort San Pedro in Cebu City.
Hawaii state government finished out the last fiscal year on June 30 with a healthy general treasury budget surplus of about $894 million, and Gov. David Ige’s administration expects to close out this fiscal year with an $810 million cash balance.
That does not include about $310 million in the Emergency Budget and Reserve Fund, also known as the “rainy day” fund, said state Director of Finance Wesley Machida. It also does not include the more than $182 million in the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund, which also was tapped to help balance the state budget during the Great Recession.
I want to take an aggressive approach to get ahead of the opioid problem here. Our goal is to leverage the opioid abuse discussion to improve the system and treat drug addiction as a chronic disease that impacts everyone.
