5 STEPS TO RECOVERY

I feel compelled to speak out. The answers to our economic woes lie
before us.

Step one: Legalize selling of marijuana to those with medical
marijuana licenses. Taxes and profits from sales will be in the billions.

Step two: Honor medical marijuana licenses from other states so they
can purchase while vacationing here. The tourist industry would be
stimulated as people from around the world would flock to Hawaii to
sample Hawaii's largest agricultural product -- marijuana.

Step three: Honor all same-sex marriages.

Step four: Legalize casinos and lotteries. The tax revenue would again
generate billions of dollars.

Step five: Reopen our schools immediately.

This plan will pay for it all. Any leftover can be spent on roads.
Aloha Hawaii nei.
