supporters of ABCABC Chapter President Meets with Hawaii House Reps
Hawaii Chapter president Karl Borgstrom met with five of the seven Republican members of the Hawaii House of Representatives during a recent fundraising event. Also in attendance were Governor Linda Lingle and her Senior Policy Director Linda Smith. The event provided a unique opportunity to discuss the successes and failures of the 2008 session and to clarify ABC's goals and issues for 2009.
Governor Lingle cited ABC's strong support of her veto of the Card Check legislation as one of the highlights of this year's session. Rep. Marumoto has been a leader in the fight against expanding the regulatory and cost-of-doing-business burdens on businesses in Hawaii.
