Maui Emergency Economic Council

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

We are calling for a Maui Emergency Economic Council to help us all deal and manage ourselves and our resources properly through the current economic challenges.

 Bob Marley has a song in which he sings, "We don't need more trouble." I was listening to it the other day while visiting a business where I used to wait in line to be served. No longer. Business has fallen off, staff let go and those working are on reduced hours.

Bob was right. Now is the time to pull together,

to remember Maui's small-town heritage and her ability to thrive and to grow while facing adversity. It is also the time to set aside what may divide us and to act for the common good. Later, we will have the opportunity to vigorously debate. But now is not that time.
