Hawaii's legislators are considering giving themselves a raise. I'm hoping they also vote to raise the salaries of their mentors, their former teachers, so that they are all receiving the same amount.

The subject of course is acknowledgment. It's about acknowledging our mentors who enabled us to earn our wages.

Average income for Hawaii's legislators= $62,604
Average income for Hawaii's teachers= $50,000
Average income for legislators in New Mexico = $0. They serve and receive expenses.
