Dear Neighbor,
Summer's here and the May/June 2011 District 25 News is packed with information. You can read about some of the Legislature's "unfinished business" and how I'll be focusing on early education efforts and working on a new "Makiki Summer Reading Project" during the interim.
Also read my update on the legislative and gubernatorial efforts to address homelessness in the state of Hawaii, starting with the Governor's announcement in May to implement his 90-day action plan.
As always, please feel free to contact me via email or at 586-9425 at any time. I'm also Twitter friendly, and can be reached through @repbelatti.
With aloha,
Della
