{"pk":46694,"title":"Hawai‘i: A State in Political and Economic Transition","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In introducing his adjustment request to the biennial budget for FY 2015, Hawai‘i’s bombastic governor, Neil Abercrombie, crowed over a $1.1 billion turnaround in the state’s budgetary fortunes during his first term.  However, revenue projections came in far below expectations, leading to a largely status-quo budget passed by the legislature in 2014.  The lack of funding for his policy initiatives, combined with a number of missteps by the governor that angered his core constituency, caused him to lose his party’s nomination for reelection to State Senator David Ige in the 2014 Democratic primary.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Hawai‘i, budget, state budget, Hawai‘i State Budget, Daniel Inouye, David Ige, FY 2015"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03t453b6","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Todd","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Belt","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Hawaii at Hilo","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2016-02-05T05:57:59+08:00","date_accepted":"2016-02-05T05:57:59+08:00","date_published":"2016-01-01T08:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46694/galley/35341/download/"}]}
