Councilman Aaron Chung has been working to get an emergency declaration issued for rapid ohia death by Gov. David Ige.
An emergency declaration would free up additional federal funding that could be used to research the disease.
This year, for the first time, the state Legislature appropriated $300,000 to the state Department of Agriculture for further ROD research.
State has millions for "studies" but can't find money to fight a Big Island problem.
I wonder how much has been spent fighting the rhino beetle?
