ALSO, TWO TEENS WERE SERIOUSLY BURNED IN A FIREWORKS ACCIDENT IN WAIEHU.

LT. GOVERNOR DUKE AIONA HAS PROPOSED ADDING A CABINET POSITION OF SECRETARY OF STATE IN HAWAII. THE NON-PARTISAN POSITION WOULD BE AN ELECTED ONE AND WOULD INCLUDE THE DIRECTORSHIP OF OUR STATE'S ELECTIONS. THE MATTER WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
