Published by jalbertini on November 23rd, 2011 in Hawaii Independence, Military, Public Events, Radiation, Social Justice, Take Action!.

Waimea meeting Nov. 30th.  Hilo meeting Dec. 1st.  See below.  It appears we may have to take our own mic and sound system to have a public hearing  They appear to be planning NO PUBLIC TESTIMONY, AGAIN. Only science fair type display booths and a stenographer in the corner to take comments.  Insult to injury!
