During his 2012 State of the County address, the mayor called on lawmakers to back a bill that addresses infrastructure tax credits and production credits to support the establishment of a film industry on Maui.

He also emphasized plans to make the county more efficient in part through plans to install photovoltaic panels at some two dozen county buildings.
