Open Government on Hawai`i Island
If you’re interested in Open Government on Hawai`i Island and the sale of public lands on the Hamakua Coast, you may want to consider attending this event sent in by Koh Ming Wei of Kua o Mala and the “Hawai`i Sustainable Education Initiative.”
Malama Honua Festival, Rally for Transparency Bill 132
Saturday, October 17th.
This event will take place at the grounds of the Honoka‘a County Gymnasium from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The Malama Honua Festival is a FREE event that will feature a wide spectrum of Hamakua homegrown musical artists, including Opu Vibes, Nonami, Uncle Boogie, Hualalai, and much more. Come and enjoy chili and rice for the entire family, FREE OF CHARGE. There will be speakers on Bill 132 and farmers that will be sharing their harvest.
This rally is to help people understand and support Bill 132. Passage of Bill 132 sets a much needed precedent for open government. Transparency Bill 132 seeks to insure public oversight in three main areas:
- who is purchasing the land
- what price is being paid, and
- what is the intended use.
These safeguards are needed in order for the public to have an opportunity to review and scrutinize public land sales prior to finalizing the deal.
If you have an Open Government Event you’d like to get published, let us know, mmkay?
