Governor Abercrombie Speaks at Democratic Party's State Convention

Governor Neil Abercombie spoke at the Democratic Party's state convention this past weekend and assured his party that he was the right governor for the job.  Abercrombie is hoping to get reelected as governor for another term and stated that since taking office four years ago he has helped turn Hawaii's economy around.  Governor Abercrombie stated, "So I can report to you that we have restored Hawaii's fiscal health. We're contributing to the economic recovery by focusing on growth and sustainability. We're transforming government by implementing measures to move government into the 21st century efficiently and effectively to serve the public. We're investing in education and skills and the well-being of Hawaii's people. And that means we have the right values, we have the right priorities, and I can report to you, you've got the right governor."

Governor Abercrombie's primary opponent in the Democratic Party is state senator David Ige.  Ige is running on a platform of restoring trust and faith in the state government.  Ige commented, "It's amazing to me in this campaign how I get blamed for everything that doesn't happen, but (Abercrombie) takes the credit for everything that does happen. You can't have it both ways.
