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?
