Tired of politicians setting your agenda? Get involved! For the next four weeks leading up to the Sept. 21 Primary Election, let's talk story about politics and the positive changes it can bring, just like we might do with friends sitting around the patio. Each Monday, we'll report on a community concern - and have candidates offer solutions. Then we'll open our call-in line to let you query the candidates. We'll ask some questions on your behalf and print the answers later that week.
We asked Big Isle mayoral candidates:
"What's the most important thing you could do as mayor
to stimulate economic growth on the Big Island?"
We asked Senate District 8 and 14 candidates:
"How would you reduce prison overcrowding and finance your solution?"
We asked prosecutor candidates:
"What is your strategy for dealing with juvenile crime?"
We asked mayoral candidates:
"Where specifically would you cut city spending?"
"Which programs would you cut?"
What the candidates say
