		The Hot Seat From politicians to newsmakers to everyday people in the news — Editorial and Opinion Editor Jeanne Mariani-Belding puts them in the Hot Seat, and lets you ask the questions. So get ready. Let the conversation begin. Reach Jeanne at jmbelding@honoluluadvertiser.com.

Coming this afternoon: Rep. Cindy Evans, chairwoman of the Public Safety & Military Affairs Committee

Attempts to deal with Hawaii's overcrowded prisons have produced some solutions that are far from ideal: We continue to ship inmates to the Mainland, and are considering housing more inmates in "tent prisons".

And while the strong military presence in Hawaii has been great for our economy, it has also raised concerns about how to balance that presence with the need to protect our environment.

To answer your questions on these issues and more will be Rep. Cindy Evans, chairwoman for the House Public Safety and Military Affairs Committee. Rep. Evans will be joining us live from 1-2 p.m. today.

**To join the conversation live,watch for the NEW posting that will go up just before 1 p.m. Thursday and post your questions there. Or if you can't make the live session you can also email your question in advance to me at jmbelding@honoluluadvertiser.com.

See you Thursday, with Rep. Cindy Evans.
