6) One of the major news stories in Hawaii recently has been homelessness. First, would you say that homelessness in Hawaii is a major problem, just a minor problem, or not a problem?

Oahu only

7) During the past few years there has been increased enforcement of laws and regulations, such as sit-lie bans, to help keep homeless people out of public areas. Which of the following statements best describes what you think about this recent increased enforcement--even if neither statement is exactly right…?

Would you say increased enforcement is generally a necessary step to keep Hawaii safe and livable for all its residents, and to help local businesses and the tourism industry? Or would you say it generally is causing more difficulty for people who are already in a bad situation, with no major benefit in return for the state and its residents?

Which of the following statements best describes your opinion about police behavior in Hawaii? Would you say that police misconduct is widespread among Hawaii’s police? Would you say police misconduct happens too frequently, but is mostly the product of just a few of bad cops? Or would you say that there really isn’t much police misconduct in Hawaii?

13) Would you say that state and local government agencies need to provide more oversight of police in Hawaii than they currently are? Or would you say that there is already enough government oversight of police in the state?

14) Another current issue is the proposed merger between the Florida-based energy company, NextEra, and Hawaii Electric--often referred to as “HECO”--which supplies power everywhere in the state except Kauai. First, do you generally support or oppose the NextEra-HECO merger, or does it not matter to you much either way?

15) The state’s Pubic Utilities Commission--often referred to as the PUC)--will ultimately decide whether or not the merger will take place. When the PUC decides whether or not to approve the merger, do you think they will ultimately put the best interests of Hawaii’s residents first, or will they make their decision as the result of pressure from politicians and business interests?

17) Do you think Hawaii’s movement toward 100% renewable energy by 2045, as is required by state law, will happen more quickly if the merger goes through, more slowly if it goes through, or will it happen at about the same speed either way?....Even if you’re not sure, please just make your best guess.

20) And how do you feel about the rail project now? Would you say it was a good idea and is progressing well? That it was a good idea, but its execution, including cost overruns and excise tax extensions on Oahu to cover them are troubling? Or would you say that it was a bad idea?
