As Leona Helmsely said about taxes, rules are for little people. (That’s us.)
Mahalo,
I am appalled at All of these government “officials” actions. I live in Cali and they have moved us back to the purple tier which raises my concern and anxiety. But, now that I see politicians do whatever they want (conference on the islands, flying) I guess I’ll do whatever feels right to me…do as the do.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KRON) – At least two California lawmakers are in Maui for a legislative conference.
The trip comes as state leaders put a recommended 14-day quarantine in place last week to discourage travel and urged Californians not to gather ahead of the holidays.
Multiple members of the California Assembly are in Maui for the Annual Independent Voter Project Conference.
An eyewitness source tells us they saw Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper on the island.
Cooper told our source he was in town for a conference, staying at the same hotel hosting the independent voter project’s event.
Another Democratic Assemblymember Blanca Rubio is also at the conference, she is the only California lawmaker who allowed the event organizer to reveal her participation there.
Recent finance reports show Republican Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham bought plane tickets for a flight to Hawaii that arrived Monday.
We contacted the offices of nine legislators who went to the conference last year. One confirmed their assemblyman was not there, and have yet to hear back from the other eight, including the offices of Cooper, Cunningham, and Rubio.
The five-day conference is bringing together about 150 people this week, 20 of them lawmakers from Texas, Washington, and California, according to the event organizer.
The event mainly features policy discussions and mingling with lobbyists and corporate sponsors.
This comes just days after California leaders discouraged travel by issuing a 14-day quarantine recommendation for anyone coming into the state
This BS and here in Albuquerque we went from a “Stay at home” order a week ago to yesterdays emergency shelter in place order (came across the TV and Cellphones etc) from the Governor, this due to an over 2000 new cases in one day, we’ve been averaging 1000+ per day until then. Over 800 hospitalized, and the University Med Center where my daughter is a physician and a COVID team leader is over capacity and being overwhelmed!
Colorado is in worse shape!
I haven’t heard if anyone from New Mexico is in Maui, I hope they have more sense then the other people do.
Be like Newson break his own rules for everyone else, do as I say not as I do and when you get caught you just say “I made a mistake” and everyone forgives and forgets by the time the next election comes around. Very sad CA residents let him get away with this.
As the article made it very clear, it’s not just Newsome and it’s both Repubs and Dems.
What Washington state legislatures attend this conference
I would like to know who from WA went too
Typical Commiefornia crap, plenty of places in Calif for a conference, humm gee, Lake Tahoe would be a great place and little to no air fair, less expensive hotels etc, won’t support their local economy.
Due to health issues I’ll probably never make it back to HI, and I miss seeing and working with my HI nurse BFF’s.
Bless you all, stay safe, take care!
“Commiefornia”…hmm.
So those GOP lawmakers who went are communists?
