Right on Ironyak! Tangs have been following this and are glad someone else started the thread.
Durian Fiend, that is such a sad question. The Bill "actually benefits" the people of Hawaii who in reality are neither of those things.
The real concern is whether this bill, inadvertently, puts more power into the hands of The Billionaires. (actual humans with big money to swing around). It's a chance we have to take and something that needs to be monitored and perhaps patched up with follow-on legislation. It is not perfect, but it really does seem to be a massive step in the right direction.
Good questions to ask might be: Who is against this bill? What are their stated reasons? Who do they ultimately serve when the doors are closed? What are their true motives for opposing this bill?
Hats off to the sponsors including Joy San Buenaventura who, by the way, was absolutely heroic in yesterday's Supreme Court nominee hearing.
Hats off to Ironyak for a concise post with useful contact information.
This is what democracy looks like.
Let the contracting begin.
