Ho’omaika’i to Senator Wakai, Representative Holt, and OHA Trustees

Pa’ipa’i lima!!! Ho’omaika’i to KPHCC members, Senator Glenn Wakai and Representative Daniel Holt on their re-election to the Hawai‘i State legislature. Our best wishes to them as they face the challenges of the State for the next two years.

Ho’omaika’i to elected OHA Trustees:

  • O’ahu Resident Trustee:  Kalei Akaka
  • Hawaii Resident Trustee:  Mililani B. Trask
  • At Large Trustee:  Brickwood Galluteria; Keoni Souza; and John D. Waihee IV

It will be interesting to see how OHA moves forward with two new trustees, i.e., Brickwood and Keoni, as they face the challenges of developing the Kaka’ako properties and resolving the back payment of ceded lands revenue.
