State plans spending on construction projects

On a more positive note, I also just came across the following article:

State plans $300 million on airport, school and other projects

These are definitely worthy projects and issues that need to be addressed - modernizing airports, repairing schools, fixing roads, and a few other undertakings.

Ever since I visited other airports while traveling, such as Singapore's Changi International Airport and Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport, I have thought that the Honolulu International Airport needed some serious renovation. The airport is visitors' first impression of Hawai'i, and it is definitely not the paradise they are expecting.

The public school facilities need repair (in my opinion, in general, more attention needs to be paid and more funding needs to be allocated to public schools), and it would be nice to drive on the roads without having to dodge the potholes.

Hopefully this funding is used efficiently and actually results in the much-needed improvements to the state!
