Legal challenge can't close OHA, DHHL, judge says
The Advertiser reports
that "A federal judge yesterday substantially pared down a court challenge to
the legality of using state taxpayers' money to support two state agencies that
offer programs that require participants to be of Hawaiian
ancestry."The Star-Bulletin reports
that "The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is the remaining defendant in the federal
lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of programs that benefit Hawaiians.In
a 32-page ruling issued late yesterday, U.S. District Judge Susan Mollway
followed her earlier announced inclinations and dismissed the other defendants
-- the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands/ Hawaiian Homes Commission and
the federal government."There's two
letters
related to the issue in the Star-Bulletin, and two more letters
in the Advertiser.
