Hawaii legislators to get 36% pay raise
By Richard Borreca, Star-Bulletin
When state legislators head to the Capitol after this year's elections, they will get a 36 percent pay raise.
According to the state Salary Commission, lawmakers are eligible for a raise that takes their pay to $48,708 from $35,900. Legislators also get a legislative allowance that goes up by the same percentage - to $10,200 from $7,500.
In total, all legislators will get an additional $15,508 a year or a total annual increase of $1.17 million more.
"I don't think it is right," says Sen. Sam Slom (R, Hawaii Kai-Diamond Head), who says he has never accepted the expense account funds.
"In these difficult economic times, these increases should be delayed," Slom added. "I had concerns about the entire Salary Commission process. There were no hearings. The Legislature was not responsible for voting on it."
Other legislative leaders say the commission followed the changes that were supported by voters when the state Constitution was amended to permit a single commission to set the pay for judges, state executives and the legislature.
"I am grateful that the taxpayers supported a constitutional amendment that tied the rates of judicial, executive and legislative pay raises," said House Speaker Rep. Calvin Say.
The pay raises were needed, according to Say, because the last raise was in 2005 and before that, it had not been raised in 12 years.
"Today's increase will be beneficial for all legislators who are full-time legislators," Say said. "The raises will let them afford their rents, utilities and everything else that has gone up in price."
Senate President Colleen Hanabusa said Slom or any other legislator can introduce legislation next year to block the pay raise, but until then it will start in 2009.
"I believe they (Salary Commission members) have done their assessment as to what is proper payment and we should abide by it," Hanabusa said.
Both the Senate president and speaker of the House will get a pay differential, raising their pay to $56,208 from $43,400.
The Salary Commission recommendations took effect last year. The Legislature was not required to give a final approval because the raises went into effect unless the lawmakers actively voted to kill them.
In reaching its decision to increase lawmakers' pay, the Salary Commission noted that legislators have many demands that "restrict the ability of Legislature to supplement their salary with a profession, business or other employment."
In the future, the commission said, if pay isn't raised, it "may limit the number of qualified individuals willing to serve as state legislators."
In this election, even with the coming pay raise, 22 legislative seats were uncontested, with only the incumbent running.
The money for legislative salaries comes from the state budget, so the state Department of Accounting and General Services issues that check. But the expense allowance comes from the Legislature's own budget, so the House and Senate will have to adjust their budget for that extra expense of $205,200.
Say and Hanabusa said they have already started to discuss the budget for the 2009 session and will also go along with Gov. Linda Lingle's request that all state spending be trimmed by at least 4 percent.
Say said the Legislature would "follow the governor's lead.”

The First Amendment Handbook
Prior Restraints
A prior restraint is an official restriction of speech prior to publication. Prior restraints are viewed by the U.S. Supreme Court as "the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights." Since 1931, the Court repeatedly has found that such attempts to censor the media are presumed unconstitutional.
In the 1976 landmark case Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart, the Court addressed the constitutionality of an order prohibiting the media from publishing or broadcasting certain information about Erwin Charles Simants, who was accused of murdering the Henry Kellie family in a small town in Nebraska. This case pitted the First Amendment rights of a free press against the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial.
To ensure that Simants received a fair trial, the Nebraska Supreme Court modified the district court's order to prohibit reporting of confessions or admissions made by Simants or facts "strongly implicative" of Simants.
On appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the prior restraint order. The Court emphasized that the use of prior restraint is an "immediate and irreversible sanction" that greatly restricts the First Amendment rights of the press. "If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions after publication `chills' speech, prior restraint `freezes' it at least for the time," Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote for the Court.
To determine whether the prior restraint order was justified, the Court applied a form of the "clear and present danger" test, examining whether "the gravity of the `evil,' discounted by its improbability, justifies such invasion of free speech as is necessary to avoid the danger."
In applying this test, the Court articulated a three-part analytical framework, which imposed a heavy burden on the party seeking to restrain the press. First, the Court examined "the nature and extent of the pretrial news coverage." Second, the Court considered whether other less restrictive measures would have alleviated the effects of pretrial publicity. Finally, the Court considered the effectiveness of a restraining order in preventing the threatened danger.
The Court found that the trial judge reasonably concluded that the "intense and pervasive pretrial publicity" in the Simants case "might reasonably impair the defendant's right to a fair trial." However, the trial judge did not consider whether other measures short of a prior restraint order would protect the defendant's rights. The trial judge should have considered changing the location of the trial, postponing the trial, intensifying screening of prospective jurors, providing emphatic and clear instructions to jurors about judging the case only on the evidence presented in the courtroom or sequestering the jury.
The Court also found that the effectiveness of the trial judge's prior restraint order to protect Simants' right to a fair trial was questionable. Because the prior restraint order is limited to the court's territorial jurisdiction, it could not effectively restrain national publications as opposed to publications within the court's jurisdiction.
Moreover, it is difficult for trial judges to draft effective prior restraint orders when it is hard "to predict what information will in fact undermine the impartiality of jurors." Finally, because this trial took place in a town of 850 people, rumors traveling by word of mouth may be more damaging to the defendant's fair-trial rights than printed or broadcasted news accounts. In short, the probability that the defendant's fair-trial rights would be impaired by pretrial publicity was not shown with "the degree of certainty" needed to justify a prior restraint order.
Because the "barriers to prior restraint remain high and the presumption against its use continues intact," prior restraint orders are rarely upheld. As a result, editorial decisions about publication of information the government deems sensitive are generally left solely to the discretion of news organizations. Nevertheless, government officials and private individuals occasionally attempt to stop publication....

NEW DISCOVERY (09-09-08): Undisclosed relationships between David Farmer and James MacArthur, Walter Dods, Oswald Stender, Faye Kurren, Tesoro, others...
Here comes Walter Dods
By Streeter, ABA Banking Journal
Walter Dods keeps a dog outside his office. Not a live dog , but a modest-sized sculpture of one that the bank purchased from a local artist. The vaguely oriental-looking animal wears a curious expression. It almost seems to be smiling, yet the look also suggests tenacity. Not everyone at the bank likes the dog, but Dods does. And so there it sits on a cube at the entrance to his outer office.
If you were to spend three days observing and trying to keep up with the fast-moving chairman and chief executive officer of First Hawaiian, Inc., you might sense that the sculpture and its caretaker are kindred spirits.
The man who will be president of the American Bankers Association for the next 12 months is an affable, down-to-earth fellow who is at home speaking with anyone. At the same time, he is by all indications an aggressive competitor, a hands-on manager with an almost uncanny grasp of detail, and a boss who gives his subordinates free rein to innovate, but also holds them accountable. Thus, like the sculpture outside his office, there's a certain yin and yang to Walter Dods--personable yet demanding....
Hawaiian Horatio Alger
Walter A. Dods, Jr., 55, is the oldest of seven children. His father was a policeman and his mother worked as a cashier at a Waikiki restaurant--both are retired now.
A 1970 Honolulu magazine article about Dods (he was then 29 and a newly minted First Hawaiian VP), described the Dods family as very close. Everyone learned to hustle early because, as Dods put it, "The last one to the table got the leftovers." That hustle has never left him.
Beginning at about 14, Dods paid his own way working nights and weekends at service stations, Chinese restaurants, a pineapple cannery – sometimes one place during the day and another at night in the summer months.
True, some of Dods' earnings went toward souping up cars--the policeman's son even admits to some hot rodding and drag racing as a teenager. He's long since rechanneled that energy, but an interest in cars remains. He owns a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (the type with "portholes" in the hardtop), which he bought from James MacArthur of the "Hawaii Five-O" television show.
When Dods graduated high school, his father urged him to go to college. But, says Dods, "I was too 'smart' to go to school, so I went to work instead." His first full-time job was as dead files clerk at First Insurance Co. Gradually Dods realized his mistake and began taking night classes to get a college degree.
