Government is going to the malahini environmentalists. They took the land, they took aloha, overthrew the queen even though they didn't know her, suppressed Ikaika And the kupuna broke the Ohana ....

Jimmy gets the perks and Derek is too new and too timid to stand up against the Speakers boys (and girls) who are leading the charge against the environment. At least Dee voted "with reservations" and joined a whole bunch of other House members to oppose these bad enviro Bills. But Jimmy and Derek are silent and hoping no one will notice. It's a shame. The North Shore Representative used to be the leader on these types of issues. Derik is out of his league and would rather be supporting the Chamber of Commerce. And Jimmy, he would rather being playing golf with the Marriott guys, or the Sheraton guys, or the Hilton guys - doesn't really matter to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-31524181684135457332012-03-31T17:18:07.873-10:002012-03-31T17:18:07.873-10:00Whoops, I guess I was a sleep.

Even Henry Noa is has been heard complaining about how these "Nations of One" are de-powering the larger sovereignty movement. It is one thing to be a sovereign person, and another to belong to a sovereign nation. As to the latter, there is OHA, Bumpy and Noa's RHG - that show promise ... not a lot more credible groups than them.....So on some level the Gov. has a point, if some never seen before guys shows up and tries to stop a project based on his newly declared sovereignty. <br /><br />On the other hand, the power grab of trying to allow the the Gov. to evade environmental review is a shameless disrespect of institutional checks and balances - and all of our endangered species.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
