Con-Con members support OHA


The Star-Bulletin reports that "Several former leaders of the 1978 Hawaii Constitutional Convention supported the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs yesterday in its fight against legal challenges."

And the Advertiser reports: "The Office of Hawaiian Affairs yesterday called together a group of community leaders who helped found OHA to defend the beleaguered agency one week before a critical hearing in a federal lawsuit challenging its constitutionality. The defenders all were associated with the 1978 Constitutional Convention that approved the constitutional amendment establishing OHA. Delegates included future Gov. John Waihee; Robinson Estate trustee William Paty, who chaired the convention; and Frenchy DeSoto, who chaired the convention's standing committee on Hawaiian affairs."

Pacific Business News also has an article on this press conference. Irony of the day: "There was unanimous support for OHA at the Constitutional Convention, including that of William Burgess, the Honolulu attorney who was instrumental in bringing what's known as the Arakaki lawsuit now challenging OHA to federal court."
