Stickers are in! Senate Bill 1085 has been decked

Aloha mai kakahiaka kakou,

The stickers are in and people have already begun to e-mail us their orders. (See http://tinyurl.com/stick-um. Senate Bill 1085 has been decked. Click here for details.

In other news, Senator Hee made arrangements yesterday to have two proposed resolutions heard in his Senate Committee. Senate Resolution 25 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 40.

These proposed resolutions accomplish two goals:

  1. urges Governor Lingle to withdraw the "ceded" lands case now pending at the U.S. Supreme Court, and

  2. declares "the public policy of the State of Hawai'i is to honor the decision of the Hawai'i State Supreme Court."


These resolutions have been moved out of committee and will proceed to the Senate floor.

Although the resolutions are not binding, these resolutions will be expressions of our legislature that re-affirm the State Supreme Court's January 31, 2008, landmark decision.
