These aren't just pets. These are a part of the family. You miss them when you're away. You worry about them. They really are important parts of your life,
So the urgency to raise the funds and get the construction under way is immense right now,
I think the governors right now are learning a tough lesson...I think you realize quickly that it's a combination of doing things in a more efficient manner, making sure you are maximizing the money you are getting from Washington.
Hawaii is an island state, thousands of miles from anywhere. It's as if we are in a boat, caught in treacherous waters, needing to set sail for a better place. If I were to chart a course north, but you insisted on going south, then we would go nowhere. We would stay stuck exactly where we started.
Regardless of the legal basis of the decision this is not a just decision,
They really put up with a lot and I think they're just at the end of their rope right now,
So that instead of the partnership being what Washington says it is, it's more open to the states to find their own path, and that's very attractive to the governors, because, oftentimes, that results in a savings of money just because we get to do it in our own way.

These bullets will not stop, and this decision was made in such a narrow sense and on such a technical (legal) basis that it does not preclude the next group from coming forward on another (legal) basis and challenging the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands again.
The building has settled to a point now where it can't be jacked up anymore, so the urgency to raise the funds and to get the construction underway is immense right now,
Agreement has been reached with the administration regarding the four policy concerns they raised about the bill.
That's a ridiculous claim and a ridiculous argument,
If we had to evacuate 500,000 people today, we couldn't do it. We don't have 500,000 places. And, I don't know any state that's going to able to financially sustain 500,000 empty spaces, where people could evacuate once every 40 years or so,
