Doesn’t a constitutional convention give more power to the people?
• Some believe a constitutional convention will be breath of fresh air: Different names, different faces, and different venue. This is very misleading. The reality is that our legislature will set the parameters for a constitutional convention. The elected delegates will decide on the processes that will be used for important decisions that impact Hawaii’s people and will even decide which issues will take priority – all at the expense of taxpayers. It is the status quo packaged in a different way.
