Since Gov. Josh Green was in Japan promoting tourism, I request that he have all the Hawaiian royalty statues in Waikiki painted with gold paint.

A start in this effort would the statue of Princess KaiuIani in the middle of Waikiki. It is currently overlooked by many as they walk by since it is not portrayed well in its dark bronze color. If it was a gold color, it would stand out extremely well.
