I will be submitting testimony in support of these bills and suggest that you, Punaweb reader, do so also.

HB1403 is of particular interest to us all. It has taken more than ten years to get to the starting gate for PMAR (Puna Makai Alternate Route). This effort need to start now, not later.

So please, each of you take the time to find out how easy it is to submit testimony.

Thanks. Testimony submitted.

Mahalo kalianna,

Once one registers on the legislature web site submitting testimony is very simple. I would encourage all readers here to position themselves to get involved politically.

We may be at an interesting point in our local history where the passage of time itself has us poised to exit the Plantation Era of government. Let's find out.

… the passage of time itself has us poised to exit the Plantation Era of government. Let's find out.

Indeed.  Our encouragement should help.

It actually is surprisingly straightforward and easy to register and submit testimony.  Nice to feel like we are able to at least give our own personal nudge to the advancement of a Puna Makai route.  Mahalo Nui Rob.
