Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – March 24, 2014 mistaken that’s a Louisiana law that they went pass way back when for transporting our game. T. Lodge: \[Unclear\] One of the things that – like 1902 Gilbert \[unclear\] creates a commission – \[unclear\] commission for the state and so through efforts like that then we’re affected. This commission’s gonna have two from this island one for Maui, Molokai and Lanai will have one, Oahu will have one, Kauai will have one. \[Unclear\] commissioners – this will be \[unclear\] through the DLNR – get involved with hunting issues and these are the ways that we’re able to be effective to what we’re doing – that’s what we are doing and we are making some headway. We haven’t won everything we’ve been asking for but when these guys went \[unclear\] Mark and Cindy Evans – they’ve forged a lot of relationships that have actual paid off for us. So I think these efforts are working, I think, in my opinion. I think that we need to continue the effort. Mark keeps saying we need to be hammering these people on these issues and we do, you know Ike, it brings up something. In our constitution originally game animals are a natural resource, you know, it’s out and we’re trying to get it back in but it’s… Chair Sylvester: 1978…Con Con had a whole bunch of things that were removed but it was never ratified. So there are some case notes from there that says if it didn’t change the intnet that it didn’t get ratified and so forth so \[unclear\] so that means game animals still written as a natural resource. Man: \[Unclear\] Laughter \[Discussion\] Man: \[Unclear\] last few times on different islands and everything. \[Unclear\] \[Discussion\] Man: Let you folks know that the Daniel K. Inouye Highway wasn’t for the watershed – it is for a quick response for Pohakuloa to Kawiahae Harbor– like go Honolulu the H-3 the wrap around unclear. Coming back to what can the county do. I read the constitution – The constitution says DLNR shall manage all natural resources for trustees and the people of who - Hawai’i. So I remember meeting to Dan Inouye and said why don’t we sue the state - share responsibility. They’re not upholding the constitution. \[Unclear\] coming back to that \[unclear\] I don’t care what you guys think \[unclear\] you folks tell me I been always talking on this word \[unclear\] Hawaiian language. That is all our responsibility you folks looking at legislative bills what about the tax on all imported items. I asked the question – imported from China \[unclear\] the United states too. Everything, why? 13
