"So they will have all three branches, a supreme court that is very sympathetic since they appointed three of them and also a more unified Republican party. The non-Trumpers are gone now. And so I would expect a push for more legislation than we had under the first reign and they will probably get a lot of that done. That will probably include things like tariffs and reduced aid to the Ukraine. I think we're going to see a lot of changes." With the election still looming and the holidays coming, how to deal with stress Back at home Dr. Hart wasn't surprised by the overthrow of incumbent Big Island Mayor Mitch Roth in favor of Kimo Alameda. "All the signs were there. I mean, a lot of people thought that the incumbent would win again after all this is Hawaii and we love incumbents. But all the signs were there for an upset," Dr. Hart said. "To me, the most interesting race, is South Maui. That is the race for the control of the city council and pro-development won that one. Cook won it, and so that will significantly affect how we approach developing or redeveloping rather Lahaina." Where to find this comfort food on your island Another result that stood out to him was the charter amendments. "If you noticed, almost all the charter amendments passed massively. And why that is so significant is as we talked about yesterday is remember, when you don't vote, it counts as a no. So the yes votes not only overwhelmed the no votes, they overwhelmed the no voting votes. So although there was a lot of discussion about the wording of all these things, definitely, people seem to do their research and are supporting all these changes."
