This is the format for Malama O Puna forums: We open with our own questions, which are on environmental issues. Then, after a short break, we open the floor to written questions from the audience - and those do not have to be on environmental topics. The only questions the moderator will not pass on to the candidates are either ones that were already asked (on the same topic), those that confuse state v. county kuleana (i.e., asking a council candidate about furlough Fridays), or those which deal with personalities and not issues. Other than that, there are no restrictions and were not in the past either.
