Column: Act to protect state Judiciary, democracy

I respectfully urge Gov. Josh Green to veto Senate Bill 935. If signed into law, this bill would drastically cut retirement benefits for future state judges. While past retirement reductions applied across the board to judges, legislators and other officials, SB 935 applies only to judges. There is no rational reason for this distinction. This reveals a deeply troubling underlying message: Hawaii law can — and with this measure, does — target the Judiciary for adverse treatment.
