Before Senator Inouye passed away, he wrote a private letter to Governor Abercrombie
asking the Governor to appoint Colleen Hanabusa to fill his Senate seat. After Inouye’s
death, someone on his staff released that letter publicly, to put pressure Abercrombie to
appoint Hanabusa. What do you think of the Inouye staff member’s decision to release
that letter?
