AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Wealth Inequality Watch: A new report highlights that the richest 1% of Americans now hold nearly a third of the nation’s wealth, with the share at 31.9%—the highest since the Fed began tracking in 1989—raising fresh concerns about how tax and pro-business policies could widen the gap. Hawaiʻi Civic Engagement: The Office of Hawaiian Affairs approved funding for a statewide, primetime televised debate for Hawaiʻi’s First Congressional District candidates and live OHA trustee forums ahead of the Aug. 8 primary, aiming to boost Native Hawaiian voter access to key issues. Local Economy & Housing Pressure: A national housing report warns affordability is worsening, with existing home sales at multi-decade lows and renters facing heavy cost burdens—an issue that hits Hawaiʻi households hard. Aviation Labor: Horizon Air flight attendants voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike amid stalled contract talks, setting up potential work stoppage risk for travelers. Tech & Energy: Samsung showcased vertically stacked transistor research in Honolulu, while imec reported advances in energy-efficient AI memory—both pointing to faster, more efficient computing. Tourism & Culture: Kaula Lūʻau at Ko Olina earned a USA TODAY 10Best nomination, with public voting open through July 13. Solar Industry Update: After Renova Energy’s bankruptcy, customers are still sorting out maintenance and service coverage, underscoring the risk in local solar financing models.
