Four key young turks forced out by the old guard.

Deputy Chief of Staff Andrew Aoki
Communications Director Josh Levinson
Deputy Communications Director Laurie Au
Governor Abercrombie leaves town as old guard reclaim their positions of power
Do you leave on vacation when your house is on fire and the people you will be visiting are coming to town in a few weeks? Those wishing to invest in Hawai`i will be attending APEC Hawaii 2011 in October & November. Why is he spending our money to leave town when we are in an economic and governance crises?

Last December David Shapiro wrote "Youth movement's fresh legs to carry Abercrombie's agenda" "Four of his initial Cabinet appointees are in their early 40s -- Sunshine Topping, 40, at Human Resources Development; Kalbert Young, 41, at Budget and Finance; Alapaki Nahale-a, 42, at Hawaiian Home Lands; and Jodie Maesaka-Hirata, 44, at Public Safety. ...Abercrombie's chief of staff, Amy Asselbaye, is 40, and her deputy, Andrew Aoki, is 41. The new governor's communications team is Josh Levinson, 34, Laurie Au, 26, and Donalyn Dela Cruz, 35. ...It's to Abercrombie's credit that he seems committed to opening the door to a new generation and giving more seats at the table to those who will have to live with the decisions made today."
