Vote for Sustainable Maui

Published by Alison under Maui Events

The Maui elections for county council are just around the corner.  Weave into your Maui Yoga schedule time to vote in the general elections on November 4th!  For candidate suggestions go to: http://www.ohanacoalition.org/

Here are some of the top issues facing our  county:

POLITICS: Viewpoints on Politicians, Politics, and the changes Maui residents would like to see in the political system.

THE ECONOMY: Real life stories on the effects of today’s economics. Drop in tourism - what does this do to the tourism-based industries? How are small businesses feeling it?

THE HOMELESS POPULATION: the difficulties of life without a home. Many of Maui’s homeless are working, living on the beach, some trying to raise children. How does this tie into the lack of affordable housing on Maui?

WATER ISSUES: Between the Wailuku Streams issue and the EMI issues in East Maui, how is it possible that one of the wettest places on Earth lacks available water?

HEALTH CARE SERVICES ON MAUI: Kidney Dialysis issues for East Maui residents, Hospitals being blocked in South Maui and West Maui, Lingle’s cancellation of Universal Healthcare program for Hawaii’s youth.

WEST MAUI DEVELOPMENT: How do you feel about the harbor improvements at Mala Wharf? The development of Oluwalu? Preserving Honolua Bay? Think about issues that are important to you and explain why you feel that way.

SOUTH MAUI DEVELOPMENT: Makena Development (Wailea 670)…the fact that our island’s most incredible natural resource is going to be surrounded by homes for the wealthy, miles of concrete, traffic, and additional water problems.
