On Monday, 6/28/2021, I got to participate in Kokua Councils Legislative Wrap Up (The Good The Bad and The Ugly https://youtu.be/L3YIhZemJfA) and got to ask the attending legislators about HB499 extending the leases on Ceded Lands. I note that Senator Lorraine Inouye (who didn't attend) questioned the very existence of ceded land, so what was the position of these other legislators? Responding were Sen. Stanley Chang, Rep. Gene Ward, Sen. Sharon Moriwaki, and Rep. Della Au Belatti.
