Testimony needed : Oppose HB252, SD1 – Spread the word urgently!

Testimony needed : Oppose HB252, SD1 – Spread the word urgently! To those concerned about land use planning and geothermal permitting, and violation of fair, open procedures in the public process of legislating.HB 252 SD1 was originally an unrelated bill about Hawaiian Roll Commission. At the last committee for this bill ( Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs), Language was inserted at last minute, (basically all of HB932) which was rejected by 2 subject matter committees.This insertion was without any public notice!!! No opportunity to provide testimony. Subject matter committees were bypassed.Inserted language redefines geothermal, streamlines permitting process, provides for a “Special Land and Development” fund, and opens up all land use designation for geo development. Next stop is a floor vote on Thursday by ALL senators. We need testimony to EACH senator calling this an outrage, on the level of the PLDC subversion of due process. Please address to each Senator individually (when they see “ ALLSENATORS” it has much less impact).
