Only OHA in Arakaki vs. Lingle lawsuit
The Advertiser reports
that "Leaders in the Hawaiian community are cautiously optimistic after learning
yesterday that a federal judge is likely to scale back the landmark Arakaki v.
Lingle lawsuit challenging Hawaiian
entitlements."And the Star-Bulletin
reports:
"A federal judge indicated yesterday that she will probably remove the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the federal government as defendants in a
lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of entitlement programs for native
Hawaiians. Such a ruling would leave the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs as the
only defendant in the Arakaki vs. Lingle lawsuit."
