Applauding Governor Lingle's veto of the civil unions bill, here's Republican Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona, who's running for the top job:
Aiona commended the governor for making "a courageous decision" to veto the bill. But he also blasted the Legislature for trying to put pressure on the governor by not calling for a special session to override vetoes.To which I can only say, that's what Chief Executives do, Duke. They have to make the tough decisions. Are you saying you don't want to make those kinds of decisions? If so, get out of the race for Governor.
