WORK ON THE ISSUES

Editor:

Why to politicians spend taxpayers' money doing stupid things? Instead of
banning smoking in restaurants, attack the hard core problems. "Ice" is
eating away at the core of our economic life. Butt out of the private lives
and work on the monster drug problems.

Find money to pay for better education, build roads to match the growing
development in West Hawaii; work on power source alternatives and provide
work for the unemployed.

These are the real tough issues tax money should be spent upon. Do something
that makes common sense.

I don't smoke and am not a smoking advocated. Just butt out and work on real
tough issues.
