Can someone familiar with Hawaii explain WHY Abercrombie was defeated so soundly in the Democrat primary? He must have been AWFUL as governor. But WHAT specifically?
Yes, I would like to know as well.
“I knew he was going to win by the April poll. I knew (Abercrombie) was in trouble because people weren’t forgetting that pension issue. Neil as a politician hasn’t been as effective as he should be.”
Kato was referring to the governor’s call to tax the pensions of senior citizens, a proposal soundly rejected by the Hawaii Legislature in 2011.
