Michitson inuguration speech for haverhill city council president 010614John Michitson
The speaker proposes developing a comprehensive long-range economic development plan for Haverhill modeled after Somerville's plan. A conference would be held within a month to organize plan development. Key stakeholders from government, business, and education would provide input. An independent steering committee would lead the effort and private funding would support an economic consultant to develop the plan based on committee guidance. The plan would analyze industry trends to target sectors with relocation potential and address needs like workforce training, infrastructure, and incentives to realize a vision of Haverhill as a regional business hub.
"You can't know where you are going until you know where you've been." It is in this spirit that we created a comprehensive outline of the accomplishments Hawaii has made in the past three years.
“This administration has made significant strides in restoring the state’s fiscal health, strengthening the local economy, and paving the way for universal access to preschool in Hawaii.

The printed standards are merely guidelines for trying to make the art of auditing into a profession. - Michael L. Piazza
Auditors must develop a reputation that proclaims that they know what they are doing... that their reviews are factual and unbiased... that they deserve to be respected... that they are professionals with professional qualifications. A fundamental key to audit success is the reputation for objectivity. That implies independence from activities reviewed. Complete independence is an unattainable goal while practical independence is not only possible but absolutely essential. - Larry Sawyer

The document discusses the issue of graffiti and whether it should be considered art or vandalism. It describes an event at the University of Hawaii where the campus newspaper encouraged students to draw on newsstands, but this led to other objects being tagged as well. While some see graffiti as a form of artistic expression, under Hawaii law it is considered illegal vandalism to mark public or private property without permission. Reports from 2020-2021 indicate the mobile medical clinic van from the University of Hawaii medical school was vandalized multiple times, showing graffiti continues to be a problem. Understanding the root causes and different types of graffiti may help address the issue more effectively.

It's no secret that the healthcare system needs some work. In fact, it's not really a system at all. It's confusing, it's difficult to navigate, and it's too expensive. When you combine that with some of the demographic trends that you see in our country — the population is getting older, we're experiencing more chronic disease — it gets even more complicated and more expensive. And consumer expectations are changing dramatically as well. So, this creates an opportunity for an organization like ours to lead this digital transformation.

Since fleeing to the United States in 2014, Guo Wengui has founded a number of projects in the United States, such as GTV Media Group, GTV private equity, farm loan project, G Club Operations Co., LTD., and Himalaya Exchange.
केरल उच्च न्यायालय ने 11 जून, 2024 को मंडला पूजा में भाग लेने की अनुमति मांगने वाली 10 वर्षीय लड़की की रिट याचिका को खारिज कर दिया, जिसमें सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की एक बड़ी पीठ के समक्ष इस मुद्दे की लंबित प्रकृति पर जोर दिया गया। यह आदेश न्यायमूर्ति अनिल के. नरेंद्रन और न्यायमूर्ति हरिशंकर वी. मेनन की खंडपीठ द्वारा पारित किया गया
ग्रेटर मुंबई के नगर आयुक्त को एक खुले पत्र में याचिका दायर कर 540 से अधिक मुंबईकरों ने सभी अवैध और अस्थिर होर्डिंग्स, साइनबोर्ड और इलेक्ट्रिक साइनेज को तत्काल हटाने और 13 मई, 2024 की शाम को घाटकोपर में अवैध होर्डिंग के गिरने की विनाशकारी घटना के बाद अपराधियों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई की मांग की है, जिसमें 17 लोगों की जान चली गई और कई निर्दोष लोग गंभीर रूप से घायल हो गए।
Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries. This multifaceted challenge, deeply rooted in historical, social, and political animosities, demands urgent attention. Despite the escalating persecution, substantial support from the Western world remains lacking.

GOVERNOR DAVID IGE
ON THE ISSUES
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE COLLEEN HANABUSA (Challenger)
Ballotpedia https://ballotpedia.org/Colleen_Hanabusa
Accessed June 16, 2018
PUBLIC EDUCATION NEEDS OUR SUPPORT
One of our greatest responsibilities is the education of our future generations and
workforce. We must support public education and Hawaii’s teachers, from our
elementary schools to our trade schools and universities. Micromanaging only
impedes progress, and we must reach beyond a small clique of advisors. We must
promote inclusiveness and collaboration and work collectively toward educational
excellence.
HAWAII NEEDS LIVING WAGES
Hawaii families need jobs with living wages so they can aford to stay in Hawaii.
We cannot wait another four years while our young people choose to leave the
islands to seek opportunities elsewhere. The state needs to partner with Hawaii’s
economic and business sectors to create more pathways to success and provide
wages that will enable our future generations to raise their families surrounded by
‘ohana in the islands we love and call home.
2. AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIRES ACTION
Hawaii has one of the highest housing costs in the nation, and one of the lowest
rates of homeownership. The state must embrace an active role in creating and
subsidizing afordable housing, while streamlining processes that enable people to
get the housing they desperately need. The state needs to move forward on
transit-oriented development and stop being short-sighted by selling of afordable
family and senior housing which reduces our afordable housing inventory.
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS WILL TAKE LEADERSHIP
The state must actively lead and show true partnership with the counties in
addressing homelessness statewide. While there are no easy answers, doing
nothing – or doing the same things over and over again – will only make the
problem worse. I will encourage new approaches by drawing, in part, on the
successes achieved in other states and cities and do so in concert with the
counties, non-governmental organizations and non-profts. We need to adopt
more tools, including serious consideration of safe zones, so that we are not just
chasing the problem from park to park, and underpass to underpass. We must
have places for the homeless to go, and to get services to those who need it.
WE MUST PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE
Hawaii is fortunate to have one of the highest rates of healthcare coverage under
our Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act. But, there is a growing sense we are behind
on planning for the nationwide changes to healthcare and health coverage. What
plans do exist remain unimplemented. We must protect the Hawaii Prepaid Health
Care Act from any attempts to undermine it. We must also fnd ways to protect
and improve healthcare for Hawaii’s kupuna and fund programs at levels that
recognize the needs of Hawaii’s growing senior population.
3. WE DESERVE BETTER AIRPORTS, HIGHWAYS AND HARBORS
They are the transportation lifelines that connect people and businesses to each
other and the world. They are essential to a healthy economy, our military and
the visitor industry. Our airports must be frst-class facilities that are points of
pride for visitors and kamaaina. Our harbors must be modernized to lower the
cost of goods to our residents and businesses. Our highways must be improved to
connect our communities and sustain the growth of our economy. We have long-
standing Airport Modernization Plans, Harbor Modernization Plans and a backlog
of millions of federal dollars to spend on highways. I will prioritize putting these
plans and dollars into action.
RAIL MUST BE MANAGED, AND COMPLETED
State taxes are the principle source of revenue for the Honolulu Rail Transit
Project. As such, the state has a right to expect that taxpayer funds be expended
appropriately and in the best interest of the taxpayers. Fraud, waste, abuse and
mismanagement cannot be tolerated. The state must proactively oversee the City
and County of Honolulu’s expenditures of state taxpayer funds. As governor, I will
take an active role advocating on behalf of the taxpayers and will work closely
with the Legislature and state auditor to monitor rail progress.
THE STATE BUDGET MUST REFLECT PRIORITIES AND VISION
The state budget is a policy statement, a blueprint of state priorities. I will not
propose budgets that are called “schizophrenic” or have lawmakers require that I
go back to the drawing board. As governor, our budget will refect the priorities of
our administration and the taxpayers will be able to hold me accountable for our
priorities, fscal discipline and smart management.
4. WE MUST MANAGE WITH COMPETENCE AND CLARITY
In order to restore the public’s faith in government, we must demonstrate daily
that we are getting the job done on their behalf. On my watch, I will not stand for
projects to be left to drift or problems to be swept under the carpet. From priority-
setting, to internal controls, to efective bidding and contracting, we can do more,
because Hawai‘i deserves better.
