Hawaii Extends Bribery Deadline | Honolulu News

Hawaii just gave investigators a three-year head start on corruption by extending the bribery statute of limitations to nine years — a bold move by Governor Josh Green aimed squarely at ensuring justice, not just ticking clocks. While not explicitly targeted at the Lieutenant Governor currently under investigation, the law reflects lawmakers’ urgent push for accountability in government. With bribery cases often taking years to unravel — involving hidden money trails, cross-agency coordination, and delicate witness work — this extension is seen as vital, though critics argue more must be done: preserving digital records, boosting investigative resources, and banning fundraising while in office. Corruption won’t be tolerated here — and now, the clock is ticking harder on those who try to game it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
