From an article in The Maui News:
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui (is attending) the National Lieutenant Governors Association Federal-State Relations (this week) in Washington, D.C.
He will be joined by more than 20 other lieutenant governors in a gathering aimed at opening new economic opportunities for Hawaii, while identifying challenges coming from the federal government due to sequestration and other actions, a news release about his trip said. …
He also will meet with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the Ambassador of Mexico to the U.S. Eduardo Medina-Mora, and officials from the embassies of Germany and Israel.
