Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – April 15, 2019 <br />T: This is where you’re gonna need the help of your people – that’s the \[unclear\] <br />ground level – home rule. You nourish your people – they’re not at the state <br />level – they’re here – they’re down in Keaukaha – in Puna... <br /> <br />NP: But the DLNR does not want a game management plan... <br /> <br />T: It’s not about what DLNR is... <br /> <br />NP: No, I know… <br /> <br />T: ....OK. It is about what your people are talking about and this is where you <br />have your people come here and support you. The power of the people in <br />everything you do – there were 39,000 voters that put you into place – the <br />same power they had here on the voters’ ballot can do exactly that again. It’s <br />the people. You need to engage them. That is basically what home rule is. <br />They’re not flying a plane to the State of Hawaii to go and sell smoke meat – <br />kalua pig so they can get the plane – they’re here. They need to be in your <br />rooms – they need to be here and listening to them about the issues and get <br />them to support you. Do legislation – do a referendum on your ballot like they <br />did before. I haven’t seen one like that yet. Have you done one since its <br />inception? Since GMAC’s inception did you do a legislative bill – a <br />referendum? <br /> <br />NP: HCR 22 – we got that through to value our resources. <br /> <br />T: Nani, the Game Management Plan – is that the initial plan or is that the <br />revised plan that DLNR had done – the plan you have. <br /> <br />NP: There was an initial and then a DLNR revised plan, which had a lot of <br />problems in it – as far as, you know... <br /> <br />T: So did the committee meet again and go over the changes that DLNR had <br />done? Has there been an actual workforce on the management plan? <br /> <br />NP: I’d like to invite Tom up to explain that a little bit. <br /> <br />TN: Of what? <br /> <br />BKK: Before we move on I just want to let everybody know that we are hitting the <br />45 mark… <br /> <br />T: Did I talk too much? Yes. Well that’s what you get for not putting me up here <br />a long time ago... <br /> <br />BKK: To answer that question I’ll have Nani or Tom answer that right now. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
