Monday September 26--Rep. Tom Brower talks about Waikiki “Sustaining the Gateway to Hawaii, Present Problems, Future Vision”
by Larry Geller
Waikiki is the engine of the state’s economy, and also the epicenter of efforts to deal with homelessness, prostitution, and APEC. Strange bedfellows, true, but that’s Waikiki for you.
If you’re near town on Monday, and have questions about Waikiki and APEC, or trains, tourism, or anything else related to that section of Honolulu, bring them over to Harris Church, enjoy an (optional) cheap lunch, and get some answers.
Here is the announcement:

“Sustaining the Gateway to Hawai`i, Present Problems, Future Vision;” Though our Waikiki neighbors represent less than 3% of the state's population, they live in the state's greatest economic resource, with nearly 85,000 daily visitors and 30,000 workers. Over 160,000 jobs are directly and indirectly affected by visitor expenditures.
