AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Ethics Firestorm: FBI Director Kash Patel is back in the spotlight after fresh reporting claims he took a “VIP snorkel” near the USS Arizona memorial—an off-limits war grave—sparking renewed questions about how access is granted and who pays for the perks. Local Law & Accountability: Hawaii’s AG is pushing back on criticism over Medicaid fraud enforcement, saying the state has secured millions in recoveries since 2021 and won’t let political attacks rewrite the record. Homelessness in Waikiki: A new snapshot shows homelessness in Waikiki’s core down about 91% over the past few years, credited to coordinated outreach, medical help, and enforcement—while encampments elsewhere keep growing. Transportation Costs: Gas prices remain a pressure point, with Hawaii averaging about $5.62 a gallon, and lawmakers elsewhere debating gas-tax holidays. Juvenile Justice: Hawaii is moving toward requiring judges to consider trauma before charging some youth as adults, with added protections for trafficking and abuse victims.
