There was no aloha for state Sen. Brenton Awa’s Resolution 21. Senators shed it as quickly as their jackets on Fridays, the only day of the week when the floor-session dress code allows aloha attire.

The Senate rule: “When present on the floor of the Senate Chamber, each member shall be dressed in court attire” — coat and tie for men and jackets for women. SR 21 would have inserted “aloha attire or” before “court.”

Of course, “aloha attire” was undefined, which leaves a wide range of possibilities we may not want, at least not every day.
