THE 2002 HAWAI'I STATE LEGISLATURE
State House of Representatives

•	Where legislators stand on the issues
•	Reach your legislator: State Senate
•	Senate dominated by lawyers, business people
•	House shifts to more full-time legislators

The House will play a critical role this year on the issues of taxes, gambling and Gov. Ben Cayetano's plan to borrow and spend $1 billion on state construction projects. With 19 Republicans and a sizable number of fiscally conservative Democrats in the 51-member House, any tax increase will have a tough time passing. It will be equally difficult for any gambling proposal to get past a determined bi-partisan cadre of gaming opponents there. Cayetano believes his plan to boost construction spending will help the struggling economy, but House leaders are worried the state may be running up too much debt.
