“The island of O‘ahu will benefit if areas like Turtle Bay are preserved in perpetuity at a time when the islands are experiencing exponential urbanization.”
Sen. Clayton Hee, District 23

“I appreciate that the governor acknowledged the T.J. Mahoney (work furlough and offender reintegration facility) and its director, Lorraine Robinson, because it is an area that needs more resources and assistance. … The Turtle Bay project is ambitious. With our other needs, I’m curious to see how she plans on financing the project.”
Sen. Will Espero, District 20

“The governor’s call for personal responsibility is important because the government cannot solve all the problems of the state. The Turtle Bay proposition is also honorable, but it’s unrealistic because our state budget consists of many other competing critical issues. Government leaders need be fiscally responsible and carefully choose our funding priorities.”
Sen. Gary Hooser, Majority Leader, District 7
