Neighborhood Board: Nicole Velasco
Government officials and community organizations frequently tell citizens to get involved. For some people in the City and County of Honolulu that involvement could mean joining one of 33 neighborhood boards. True, their rung on the ladder of governance is low, but they do wield some power and make decisions that affect the lives of their communities. Nicole Velasco hopes more residents will choose board service. She's the Executive Secretary of the Neighborhood Commission and joined us in studio.

Hawaii Health Connector Update: Jeff Kissel
Last year, the Hawaii Health Connector was charged with creating a sustainability plan delivered to lawmakers before the opening of the 2015 session. That happened last month. We now know that the Connector is asking for $28 million dollars over as many as 7 years from the Legislature. It's being couched as a capital investment from the State to ensure the self-generating revenue. Health Connector Executive Director, Jeff Kissel, stopped by yesterday afternoon and we asked him about the $28 million and why that doesn't necessarily break down into a 4 million annual appropriation.
