QUOTE:

“If people could understand what it is we’re doing, there wouldn’t be so much objection to this. So I’m really annoyed, because we spent an awful of of money campaigning and using commercial time. And now the suggestion to go nine months more with more commercial time, more money… this is all trust monies, we can’t afford to just… excuse the expression … piss it away.” – Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee Rowena Akana, expressing her frustration with the OHA administration, during a board meeting on Thursday, May 29 in Honolulu.
