Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – March 24, 2014 <br /> <br /> <br />M. Bartell: So, hey, tell me, just when this legislative session’s over – we need to <br />take note of who supported our initiatives and who voted against our initiatives, <br />right? <br /> <br />Chair Sylvester: Right. And Tom (Lodge) and I have been sending out – and <br />we’ve also asked others every time to send thank yous – we usually do that right <br />after each committee we meet with – we send out thank yous – we’ve been <br />keeping on top of it that way. <br /> <br />M. Bartell: No, yeah, but I’m thinking of a different level, right? There are people <br />who are going to support 1902 and there’s people’s who are going to vote <br />against 1902. And I think everybody in the room should know what senators and <br />congress people voted in favor of 1902 and which ones voted against it – so we <br />know who to vote for next – cause 2014 is an election yea, man. And we need to <br />know who’s got out back and who doesn’t, right? <br /> <br />Man: Yeah. <br /> <br />M. Bartell:: And I think we as a commission should just track that and be really <br />explicit about it. Right? <br /> <br />Chair Sylvester: Absolutely. OK. Thank you, Mark. Anything further before we <br />move on? <br /> <br /> <br />VII: UNFINISHED BUSINESS: <br /> <br />A motion to approve our request letter to Dr. Bill Walsh for his presence at <br />our April meeting. <br /> <br />Chair Sylvester: OK. Unfinished Business. Do I hear a motion to approve a <br />request letter to Dr. Bill Walsh for his presence at our April meeting? And then I’ll <br />read the letter off first, if you want? OK.

It is our understandings that DLNR <br />and DAR \[unclear\] will be one of the participating agencies in the project.
