This was a week where we launched our “It’s your money” series and examined the record of the man who’ll be running the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation.

We also updated the website to display our reporters’ blogs on the home page and on our Land, Money, Education, Hawaii and Honolulu beat pages. The blogs are where you can follow the news in an area you’re especially interested in. The Beat blog on the home page is a collection of items that Civil Beat’s editors think are worth paying attention to.
