Machado: OHA Will ‘Aggressively’ Push Akaka Bill

By /
Colette Machado today said the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is not giving up on the Akaka bill. 

“Within the last year, OHA has started to open up alternate legislative and executive routes in coordination with Senator Daniel Akaka, Senator Daniel Inouye and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs,” she said today at OHA’s annual investiture. “President Barack Obama is a strong partner in this effort. OHA will aggressively pursue these legislative and executive paths throughout the next year.”
