would you say that homelessness in Hawaii is a major problem, just a minor problem, or
not a problem?
Oahu only
7) During the past few years there has been increased enforcement of laws and
regulations, such as sit-lie bans, to help keep homeless people out of public areas.
Which of the following statements best describes what you think about this recent
increased enforcement--even if neither statement is exactly right…?
Would you say increased enforcement is generally a necessary step to keep Hawaii
safe and livable for all its residents, and to help local businesses and the tourism
industry? Or would you say it generally is causing more difficulty for people who are
already in a bad situation, with no major benefit in return for the state and its residents?

behavior, have become big issues in the media nationally and in Hawaii. Which of the
following statements best describes your opinion about police behavior in Hawaii?

company, NextEra, and Hawaii Electric--often referred to as “HECO”--which supplies
power everywhere in the state except Kauai. First, do you generally support or oppose
the NextEra-HECO merger, or does it not matter to you much either way?
15) The state’s Pubic Utilities Commission--often referred to as the PUC)--will ultimately
decide whether or not the merger will take place. When the PUC decides whether or not
to approve the merger, do you think they will ultimately put the best interests of Hawaii’s
residents first, or will they make their decision as the result of pressure from politicians
and business interests?

guess.
17) Do you think Hawaii’s movement toward 100% renewable energy by 2045, as is
required by state law, will happen more quickly if the merger goes through, more slowly
if it goes through, or will it happen at about the same speed either way?....Even if you’re
not sure, please just make your best guess.

behavior, have become big issues in the media nationally and in Hawaii. Which of the

decide whether or not the merger will take place. When the PUC decides whether or not
to approve the merger, do you think they will ultimately put the best interests of Hawaii’s

and business interests?

17) Do you think Hawaii’s movement toward 100% renewable energy by 2045, as is
required by state law, will happen more quickly if the merger goes through, more slowly

not sure, please just make your best guess.

20) And how do you feel about the rail project now? Would you say it was a good idea
and is progressing well? That it was a good idea, but its execution, including cost
overruns and excise tax extensions on Oahu to cover them are troubling? Or would you
say that it was a bad idea?
