Ask Rep. Yamashita to move HB133 HD1 SD2 through conference committee

I’m calling to respectfully urge you to use your authority to ensure that HB133 HD1 SD2 is passed this session in its current form. This bill is crucial to provide funds for necessary repairs on OHA’s lands in Kaka’ako to the revetments/bulkhead, which have fallen into a state of disrepair due to state neglect. I’m concerned that the condition of disrepair was not disclosed at the time of settlement in 2012.
Additionally, the bill allocates funds for an EIS and the development of Kūkaniloko, which are essential for the Native Hawaiian community. As a supporter of this bill, I hope you will join me in advancing it through conference committee.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I appreciate any help you can provide. Mahalo.

Let Speaker Saiki know why it is important to move HB133 HD1 SD2 through conference committee
PHONE SCRIPT
I am calling as a concerned community member regarding an important matter that affects Native Hawaiians.
As you are aware, the state transferred lands in Kaka’ako to OHA in order to settle a longstanding debt, while still retaining a legal easement to Lot A. This grants them control over boat docking and the collection of related income, as well as the responsibility for maintenance and repairs. It is their legal duty to provide the necessary funds to ensure that the land is safe for public use.
Despite numerous delays in respecting the rights enshrined in our constitution, Native Hawaiians have displayed a great deal of patience with the state. However, it is crucial that the state meets its obligations, as voters expect.
Therefore, I urge you to expedite the process by promptly advancing HB133 HD1 SD2 through the conference committee. This bill is necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the Native Hawaiian community and the general public, and it is important that we act swiftly.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
