MĀLAMA I KA HONUA A Quarterly Journal of the SIERRA CLUB OF HAWAI‘I OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2018 This month’s issue: Celebrating 50 years of Service in Hawai‘i nei Should Hawai‘i hold a 7 Constitutional Convention?

We first celebrated on September 8 and it certainly was an evening not to forget in the breathtaking setting of Moli‘i Gardens at the base of the Ko‘olau Mountains, surrounded by our longest serving members, biggest supporters, and life-long admirers of the Club. In between grabbing plates of ono food, bidding on outstanding silent auction items, and reminiscing about old times, guests heard inspiring speeches from special guests Michael Brune, Sierra Club National Executive Director and Kelly King, co-founder of Pacific Biodiesel as well as Colin Yost, Hawai‘i Chapter Executive Committee Chair and Marti Townsend, Hawai‘i Chapter Director. Local lawmakers, including Governor Ige, attended the event to present various proclamations and certificates honoring the Chapter’s commmitment to protecting Hawaiʻi’s environment. A special thank you to Under my Umbrella for the incredible work and support planning this event, all of the volunteers and staff that helped during the planning process, the lei makers, the day of volunteers, all of the wonderful companies, organizations, and individuals that donated items to our robust silent auction, Reese Liggett and Suzan Harada for donating and making the beautiful native plant centerpieces, Jonathan Scheuer for donating the ti for the lei, Jen Homcy for donating the gorgeous awards, Hannes Seidel from CarbonBuddy and Arsalan Barmand from Carbon Lighthouse for helping us to offset the event’s carbon emissions, and Tristan Cummins from Sustainable Coastlines for helping us reduce the event’s waste.

The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of 20 II HOUSE OF
The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of20II HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Committee on Health Rep. Ryan 1. Yamane, Chair Rep. Dee Morikawa, Vice Chair State Capitol, Conference Room 329 Tuesday, March 22, 2011; 9:00 a.m. STATEMENT OF THE ILWU LOCAL 142 ON S.B.1086, SD1 RELATING TO CONSUMER INFORMATION The ILWU Local 142 strongly supports S.B. 1086, SD1, which requires sliced, sandwich-style bread products that have been baked and then frozen to be labeled "previously frozen" and prohibits bread that has been frozen to be labeled or advertised as "fresh." The II.WU represents almost 300 members who work at Love's Bakery in production, driver-sales, office clerical work, and the thrift stores. Many ofthem have worked at the bakery for many years under various owners. Today, the company is owned and managed by a local team that invested its own money to keep this manufacturing company viable. For 160 years, Love's Bakery has put fresh sandwich bread on our table. It was only in the last decade that previously frozen bread took over a greater share ofthe market. However, the consumer was never informed that the previously frozen bread was baked on the mainland, then frozen and later thawed before sale. The consumer did not have the information needed to make an informed choice. This lack ofinformation has given previously frozen bread an unfair advantage over fresh bread. S.B. 1086, SDI will require that packaging ofpreviously frozen and thawed sliced, sandwich-style bread be imprinted with the words "previously frozen." With this information, consumers can ask their own questions, then make an informed decision about which bread to purchase.

TO: the Honorable John M. Mizuno, Chair House Committee on Health and Human Services
DAVID Y. IGE PANKAJ BHANOT GOVERNOR DIRECTOR CATHY BETTS DEPUTY DIRECTOR STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES P. O. Box 339 Honolulu, Hawaii 96808 February 13, 2018 TO: The Honorable John M. Mizuno, Chair House Committee on Health and Human Services The Honorable Aaron Ling Johanson, Chair House Committee on Labor and Public Employment FROM: Pankaj Bhanot, Director SUBJECT: HB 2204 - RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES Hearing: Tuesday, February 13, 2018, 8:35 a.m. Conference Room 329, State Capitol DEPARTMENT’S POSITION: The Department of Human Services (DHS) supports the intent of this bill and provides comments. PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to establish a task force that shall develop a restructured welfare payment system; re-establishes the exit and retention bonus program to encourage welfare recipients to transition back into the workforce; and appropriates funds. The Financial Assistance Advisory Council (FAAC) was established in accordance with section 346-14.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The purpose of the FAAC is to render advice and information relating to the financial assistance programs. The proposed task force will be duplicative of what is already established in the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The department suggests that the committees consider utilizing the FAAC for this purpose, rather than establishing a task force. Regarding the exit and retention bonus program, in October 2006, DHS implemented the “Reward Works” initiative which included the exit and retention bonus payments. The bonuses were based on a family’s average number of employment hours per week. The Reward Works initiative ended February 1, 2012 because DHS did not have funds to fiscally sustain the exit and retention bonuses.

DAVID Y. IGE RONA M. SUZUKI GOVERNOR DIRECTOR OF TAXATION JOSH GREEN M.D. DAMIEN A. ELEFANTE LT. GOVERNOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION P.O. BOX 259 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96809 PHONE NO: (808) 587-1540 FAX NO: (808) 587-1560 To: The Honorable Angus L.K. McKelvey, Chair; The Honorable Lisa Kitagawa, Vice Chair; and Members of the House Committee on Economic Development & Business From: Rona M. Suzuki, Director Department of Taxation Re: S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, Relating to Taxation of Real Estate Investment Trusts Date: Friday, March 13, 2020 Time: 9:45 A.M. Place: Conference Room 309, State Capitol The Department of Taxation (Department) appreciates the intent of S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, and provides the following comments. S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, repeals the dividends paid deduction that real estate investment trusts (REITs) are allowed by current law, except REITs for which 100 percent of the property owned is used to provide affordable housing in Hawaii. This will subject affected REITs’ income to the Hawaii corporate income tax in the same manner as other corporations. The measure is effective July 1, 2050 and applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020. The bill sunsets on December 31, 2023. The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) is responsible for economic development, including the role of REITs. The Department of Taxation is responsible for administering the tax laws in a fair, consistent, and efficient manner. Therefore, the Department defers to DEBDT on the substantive merits of the bill.

Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor Developed by Hiʻilei K
HAWAIʻI CLIMATE CHANGE ADVOCACY ADVISOR DEVELOPED BY HIʻILEI K. CASCO Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa TABLE OF CONTENTS 01 02 03 PURPOSE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE IN THE LEG OVERVIEW Why this resource A review of climate change An assessment and analysis was created for you indicators, impacts, and case of climate-related studies on advocacy initiatives initiatives in the 2019 in the Pacific region Hawaiʻi State Legislature 04 05 06 KEY INSIGHTS + RESOURCES + TOOLS APPENDICES STRATEGIES Sharing advocacy insights Materials to help you get Supporting data and and strategies from started: step-by-step information community members and guides, worksheets, and seasoned environmental resources advocates 2 01 PURPOSE Why this resource was created for you 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WELINA MAI Welcome to the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor! Despite the importance of environmental advocacy in ensuring effective decision-making processes and outcomes, smaller community-based resource stewardship organizations in Hawaiʻi often lack the skills, tools, guidance, and capacity to organize their own advocacy plans and strategies. This lack of support has made it difficult to protect and fulfill their environmental interests through an inability to participate in policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels. There is a need to support these groups to develop their own advocacy frameworks and plans, which will ensure their ability to express their views on climate change and natural resource issues that impact them. This resource seeks to support small community-based natural resource organizations in Hawaiʻi to more effectively participate in climate change and natural resource policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels.
