Mahalo Mr. Tynan for the great letter to the Star Advertiser today! Nobody deserves more credit for state Sen. David Iges victory than the candidate himself. Ige set a goal, worked hard, and never let his opponents superior fundraising machine and White House connections get him discouraged. However, on primary election night, I noticed that Ige thanked the states teachers even before expressing gratitude to his own parents. Taking nothing away from the candidate and his very capable campaign team, the fact remains that Iges victory was a stupendous display of power by the Hawaii State Teachers Association. Of course, we all know that with the general election fast approaching, the goal remains only half-finished. But I want to thank our own Hawaii David for giving those of us who believe in public education hope that the three-headed Goliath of Abercrombie-Horner-Matayoshi will finally be slain. And more specifically, that their ill-advised corporate-inspired education reform efforts will be sent packing with a not-so-fond Aloha! Dennis M. Tynan Makaha
