Title
Voter Owned Hawai'i: The Reform That Makes All Other Reforms Possible
Description
HEP BACKGROUND: In the mid-1990s the Hawai`i State Campaign Spending Commission heightened public awareness about the outrageous criminal and quasi-criminal activities surrounding political campaigns by filing charges against what has become a long list of elected officials and corporate and business entities.
To date, an estimated 100 high-profile prosecutions have taken place with many convictions and large fines levied (the most recent conviction and settlement was announced in October of 2005). Early on, in 1997, the Hawai`i League of Women Voters made the comprehensive public funding of elections a priority issue and a group of committed League volunteers created the Hawai`i Elections Project (HEP). The group set out to investigate possible alternatives to the existing corrupt system.
