Massive rally at State Capitol draws proponents of GMO labeling, anti-PLDC activists and cultural practitioners
by Larry Geller
The news won’t be disappeared, the rally was as large as they come. Check your paper or TV station for a report.
Just before I posted this, Henry Curtis reported that PLDC repeal bills have been submitted in both the House and Senate (see below). The repeal bill in the Senate was the first bill introduced in the session.
Info from email circulated by Henry Curtis:
REPEAL PLDC: SB1 (Sen. Hee), HB 9 (Rep. Thielen)

DELA CRUZ) Public Land Development Corporation; Public-Private Partnership Corporation; Public Lands; Development Plans and Projects; Investments; Financing; Land Use Commission; Hawaii Community Development Authority; Land Use; Historic Preservation; Ceded Land; Pilot Project RELATING TO THE PUBLIC LAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
