| Governor Linda Lingle's State of the State Address
Economic Development
-- Encourage the state retirement fund to allocate $100 million to invest in the creative ideas and talents of Hawai'i's companies and people.
-- Stress STEM education because it helps equip graduates with the analytical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills necessary for any high-quality job of the 21st century.
Governance -- Postsecondary
-- Create a Commission on Higher Education made up of the presidents of Hawai'i's major universities, members of the community and business leaders. This Commission will give us the opportunity to embrace new ideas and new ways of using federal and state education dollars.
Technology, Creative Arts
-- Start Creative Academies, modeled after the successful STEM Academies, to nurture and support the many talents of Hawai'i's keiki. These academies would focus on animation, digital media, game development and writing and publishing in elementary through high school.
Tuition/Fees
-- Pass tax deductions of up to $20,000 a year for parents or other family members saving for a child's college education.
