  News that leaders in both the state House and Senate are now “willing and able” to come back in special session to raid the “Rainy Day Fund” to cut back on public teacher furloughs is hardly the end of this story. If that happens, up to $50 million will be set aside to keep teachers at work. But that hardly ...

  Athletic triumph and academic triage lead the way as we "flASHback" on the weeks news that amused and confused: Hawaii golfer Michelle Wie finally won her first LPGA tournament four years after turning pro.

  It looks a lot like a classic Emily Litella moment, the vacant news commentator played by the late Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live. After weeks of furor, demonstrations and second-guessing about the furloughs  designed to hold down the states school budget, the Governor and others involved with the original plan ...

  School funding looked so bad for Hawaii last month that the government announced it would shorten its academic year to 163 days, furloughing teachers and closing most Fridays.

  Volcanic Ash| Volcanic Ash blog, honoluluadvertiser.com | Honolulu, Hawaii — Authority: 124
  Ive greatly enjoyed the economic analysis posted in response to my entry a couple of days ago, "Room for compromise on furloughs," but Im afraid its wasted on the state. The folks at the Capitol have a lot of work to do on basic accounting before they worry about the loftier principles of economics. Last month, ...

• The governor takes flight

  
  Volcanic Ash| Volcanic Ash blog, honoluluadvertiser.com | Honolulu, Hawaii — Authority: 124
  I could only roll my eyes when I read that Gov. Linda Lingle decided this would be a swell time to disappear for two weeks on a promotional trip to China. Nothing much going on here. Just a budget deficit at $1 billion and growing, a parent revolt over Friday school closings, a Senate probe and impending federal ...

  Akamai Politics| Akamai Politics blog, honoluluadvertiser.com | Honolulu, Hawaii — Authority: 118
  Seems as if there is a bit of a game of chicken going on between Gov. Linda Lingle and the folks who represent Hawaii’s teachers. Here’s how it goes: Lingle imposed a 14 percent spending restriction on the Department of Education. She suggested furloughs of teachers might be one way to reach that goal. The DOE ...
