Patients with severe and chronic mental health issues are among those that tend to be “invisible” when it comes to support services and compassion. That will no longer be the case with the opening in September of the new State Hospital in Kaneohe. https://t.co/dNQhRbvxoc — PolitiTweet.org

We're also dedicating almost $800k from the barrel tax per year to get more charging stations throughout the state, and helping to decarbonize our tourism industry by having state workers prioritize renting EVs, incentivizing rental car companies to increase EVs in their fleets. — PolitiTweet.org
