MEDIA STATEMENT FROM COUNCIL CHAIR RAPOZO
"The people of Hawaii are grieving today as we mourn the loss of our beloved
leader, Senator Daniel K. Akaka. Many strive to have the purity of heart and aloha
spirit that Senator Akaka embodied so easily; yet his unwavering spirit and
advocacy for Native Hawaiians, veterans, and the people of Hawaii were
unparalleled. Mahalo Senator Akaka for your lifetime of service. The Kauai County
Council extends its heartfelt condolences to his wife, Millie Akaka and the entire
Akaka family."
