| Notes |
Abercrombie won’t inherit that sort of economic luck, but he has picked up a lot of Waihee stalwarts who assisted in Abercrombie’s campaign and are now defining the new administration by helping to pick the new Cabinet.
The team includes John Radcliffe, lobbyist and former labor leader, who served briefly in the Waihee administration; Lloyd Nekoba, a longtime Waihee aide; and also former state Rep. Kate Stanley, who served in the Waihee administration. Charles Toguchi, the former superintendent of education and state senator, is keeping a lower profile now, but he also is in the Abercrombie kitchen Cabinet, along with former Maui Rep. Tony Takitani. |
