Hawaii's Democratic lieutenant governor indicted in state corruption investigation
Tobi Solidum, former state representative Ryan Yamane, Hawaii Transportation Department official Ford Fuchigami, and Leo Asunción, a former official for Hawaii’s public utilities commission, were indicted as part of the state attorney general’s probe.
Luke admitted to accepting the two $5,000 checks but denied taking more than that and denied any money influencing her lawmaking.
