Political group appears linked to House Speaker

Hawaii Independent Staff

Hawaii blogger Ian Lind reports that Citizens for Responsive Government, a political committee that reportedly has been sending out campaign mailers in support of Democratic candidates in several districts, is apparently linked to House Speaker Calvin Say. With absentee voting already a week in, and the next campaign spending report not due till October 25 (a week before the General Election), Lind comments that instances like this warrant a change in administrative deadlines so that the voting public has access to the most current information before they actually cast their votes.
