Gov. Ben Cayetano is inviting the public to submit ideas on how the state can best cope with economic damage incurred by the Sept. 11 attacks.

"Hawai'i is facing its worst economic crisis ever, and we need the support of everyone in the community to keep Hawai'i strong during this time," Cayetano said.

Cayetano has been meeting with business, labor, and political leaders since the attacks. Others are invited to submit ideas, comments and questions through mail-in and electronic "suggestion boxes."
