Won’t a constitutional convention allow us to make badly needed changes to our most pressing issues?
• No one knows the agenda and desired outcomes for a constitutional convention. We all want change, and some would like to believe a constitutional convention is a panacea, providing the solutions we need. The only thing we know for sure is that delegates may feel an obligation to their financial supporters to advocate special interests, which may not represent the broader interests of Hawaii’s people. It’s important to point out that the earliest a constitutional convention could be held would be the year 2010, two years from now.
