If they had $50, would they be sleeping on the street?

Sleeping, sitting or lying down on city sidewalks would be barred under a bill being considered by the Honolulu City Council.

The state has kicked off the environmental review process for a project to restore heavily eroded portions of Waikiki Beach, but work to bring in sand to widen the state's most famous coastline likely won't start until 2011.

Property crimes took a nose dive in Honolulu in 2008 while violent crime in Honolulu rose slightly.

The teachers union has reached a tentative settlement with Department of Education negotiators.

Gov. Linda Lingle and the Hawai'i State Teachers Association have moved closer to a new contract that involves furloughs for public school teachers to help the state reduce labor costs.

Hawaii's 13,000 public school teachers could be the first to break the state's long-simmering public worker labor disputes.

Hawaii County is moving ahead with plans to expand a sewage treatment plant in Honokaa and build a sewage system for the Queen Liliuokalani Village subdivision in Kona.

Kaua‘i will lose the 87-foot U.S. Coast Guard cutter Kittiwake in the spring of next year, but not before a smaller replacement boat arrives from Maui, a Coast Guard spokesperson said.
