to ease OHA through the regulation process, I will do so with zeal. But what OHA does is up to OHA. I will assist in any way I ean consistentwith my platform. Q2.

When they decide, I will listen. I was born in Rhode lsland. My wife is a Native Hawaiian from Kāne'ohe. She welcomed tourists at the old Honolulu airport with a hula as a child.
