IT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO UNANIMOUS. TODAY THE HAWAII STATE STUDENT COUNCIL - THE OFFICIAL VOICE OF HAWAII'S 178,000 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS - ISSUED A STATEMENT SUPPORTING GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE'S PLAN TO END FURLOUGH FRIDAYS. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF RED TAPE TO CUT THROUGH - INCLUDING A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE LAW SO TEACHERS CAN BE PAID FROM THE STATE'S SO-CALLED RAINY DAY FUND.
