Circus in town?
By B.J. Reyes
No, the Legislature doesn’t convene until January!
Despite the tent-like structure in the Capitol Rotunda, the circus is not in town, at least not at 415 S. Beretania St. (Try Blaisdell.)
The tent is covering restoration work on the “Aquarius” mosaic on the grounds of the Rotunda.
According to the House Democrats’ blog, the work will include installation of a new plumbing and drainage system beneath the artwork and new tiles for the mosaic itself.
The work was created by Hawaii artist Tadashi Sato and shows the changing colors and patterns of Hawaii’s seas.

It’s about time that mosaic was restored… it was in sad shape last year.
