Hawaii State Senate Off and Running!

For the first time in the history of the State of Hawaii, newly-elected State Senators took the oath of office before the Opening Day Sessiosn of the Hawaii State Legislature. On Wednesday, November 12, 2008, nine State Senators, including Senator David Ige, took their oath of office from Chief Justice Ronald Moon. This cleared the way for the State Senate to convene for the 3rd Special Session of 2008 to advise and consent on the appointment of Melvin Fujino as a district court judge on the Big Island. Less than two weeks after election day, the Hawaii State Senate was back at work!
