After securing $1.5 million last week from state lawmakers, supporters of financially strapped 'Iolani Palace are looking toward next year's session when they may propose setting in place a more permanent stream of money.

"We are very grateful for the support that we got from the Legislature," said Alice Guild, executive director for the Friends of 'Iolani Palace, which operates the landmark building where Queen Lili'uokalani was overthrown 113 years ago and which continues to be a symbol for the Native Hawaiian movement.
