The Construction Industry Council of Hawaii will celebrate the new year and the legislative session at Mandalay Restaurant Thursday evening (Feb. 16) — and public officials are invited.

From a flier:

This will be an excellent opportunity to meet with key construction industry leaders and fellow legislators who will be driving the important issues during the coming session.

By coincidence, the Hawaii Legislature is pushing legislation for a $500 million bond to pay for capital improvement projects across the state. CICH represents the engineers, architects, builders and contractors that stand to gain.
