Govenor Lingle hasn't signed this into law: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2009/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=1405 At least not yet....

David, First of all, the state isn't giving any tax money. It's allowing people to risk their own money to build new, tax-paying businesses. Second, if there's...
Education vs. industry is a chicken vs. egg issue, I'd say. With regard to DOE, currently we're talking about taking money away and people losing jobs, not...
