text: Hey Rep Lopresti,
  
  Any thoughts about the state senate refusing the tequest for $15 million to help overcrowded, nustong at the seams Campbell HS on Oahu, but giving Roz Baker millions more than she asked for her new trophy HS in Kihei Maui, where enrollment is dropping?  I think the senators upped her request to $30 million? 
  
  In recent years,  Baker got the legislature to approve over $200 million for this school in her district., while the had been no plan to build a new HS in Central or leeward Oahu, where the population is increasing.  Why is that? 
  
  What do you think about the fact that leadership in our legislature is in the hands of the outer islands, even though 75% of the state population and 80% of income tax revenues come from the people of this island?  In the state Senate, Maui has just 12% of the populatipm but its 3 isenators are in charge of the committees where most legislation must pass  (jJudiciary,  Health, Tourism,  Labor, Consumer protection)? What's with thst?
