DML: Just as a point of order, since you didn’t have it on the agenda, I think you’re gonna have to do it all of it Legislative update, but you can call Legislative update and take it out of order and then \[tape gap\] that way and so then you’d be looking for a motion… AA: OK. Abraham – District 5, I just figured that was under announcements so announcements I thought would be kind of like open discussion ah? But if it’s not then, yeah, I’ll move up Legislative update, that’s - OK. So let’s move up the Legislative update – so, again, me and Brian went to Oahu we had a good day, we discussed – at that point in time it was in the senate and we discussed it with Water & Land for the senate which was Senator Inouye and we discussed with her about taking out the DLNR amendments that was from the House which is an HB 1 – she actually agreed with us and she took out the amendments from HB 1 from DLNR and she created SB 2 so because she did that, it’s going to a conference committee and there’s a whole, basically, it’s a whole new ball game and it’s almost like it’s starting again, but not really and we’re gonna get the house representatives and senators and they all got to discuss why the senate is not agreeing with the house and they gotta come, they gotta find this happy medium I guess, or at this point, it’s what’s basically happening but, ah, so that’s why we – that’s why I’m asking the Commission to go back to Oahu again and gain more support from the House members that we haven’t talked to and the Senate members that’s also in this committee that we haven’t talked to. NP: May I make a comment from the public – Nani Pogline. AA: Yeah, go ahead Nani. NP: Yeah, I believe that it was Brian and Abraham’s trip to the Legislature that actually did make big changes for our bill for the good, it was their conversation and visit with Senator Inouye that caused the removal of the DLNR amendments in motion and alluding and distracting from the intent of our bill and because of their trip over there I think that was the main reason they were so effective in getting that removed which resulted in Senate Draft 2, and so that’s what we’re fighting to hold on to, which is actually our original bill, Senate Draft 2 without the DLNR amendment. Thank you. AA: And actually it’s not just – at this time it’s not just me, I think George is also on our Legislative Committee, so if George, if you’re available this week to just go on a spur of the moment kind of Oahu trip and go to the Legislature then, you know, you’re invited cause you’re part of the Legislative Committee, if you’re available. GD: Thank you, I don’t think I am but I will – we can communicate about that. AA: OK. DML: Oh, excuse me, Chair Abraham, this is Diana again. You’re asking for a motion to approve the trip or to approve the trip for how many people? AA: Apparently, just me. Cause Brian is in Texas, so Brian cannot make it this time and, unless Leomana can come with me, but the only thing I see with that is Leomana is not, or even Kean, 23
