Kalani English, the Democrat who serves as the majority leader in the Hawaii state Senate, held a campaign fundraiser Wednesday night at the Oahu County Club.

The suggested donation was $250.

English, who represents Molokai, Lanai and Hana, East and Upcountry Maui, is not up for re-election until 2018. Planning ahead, it seems.

Wednesday was the 43rd day of the 60-Day legislative session. Friday is the “second decking” deadline for legislation.

There are a lot of people paying close attention to a lot of bills. Many of those same people give money to lawmakers.

Probably just a coincidence.
