At the end, participants voted on top issues. This process is step 1 in determiningg Kokua Council's 2010 legislative priorities.

The issue panel: Rep. John Mizuno, Bob Nakata (Faith Action for Community Equity), Alex Santiago (PHOCUSED), Elizabeth Bethea (Elderly Affairs Division, City & County of Honolulu), Rep. Barbara Marumoto, and Steve Tam (AARP).
