It’s time for another Civil Beat poll, but not the kind you’re used to.
No pesky professional pollsters or social scientists to devise precise questions and analyze crosstabs. Just you and us.
We know Civil Beat readers are among the most informed citizens in Hawaii. So take a few minutes and answer our 10 questions below.
This is not intended to be a scientific survey or campaign fodder. We’re simply trying to get a read on what people who participated in — or closely observed — the legislative process thought of it.
We understand there are good reasons for anonymity in a survey like this and will respect that but ask that you also respect our interest in obtaining honest and thoughtful answers. Don’t try to stuff the ballot box! And please let us know if you are a legislator, staff, lobbyist or simply a political junkie.
Email your answers to news@civilbeat.com.
We’d like to wrap this up soon so what better way to spend 10 minutes this holiday weekend then filling out our survey.
1.) Most effective legislator. Why?
2.) Least effective legislator. Why?
3.) Legislative rising star?
4) Most effective lobbyist. Why?

Mahalo for your participation!
