Kaimuki; 
Whereas William S. Richardson was born to a working class 
family of Hawaiian, Chinese, and Caucasian ancestry; 
Whereas William S. Richardson served as a platoon leader in 
the United States Army during World War II and was 
later inducted into the Infantry Officer Candidate School 
Hall of Fame; 
Whereas William S. Richardson served as Lieutenant Gov-
ernor of Hawaii from 1962–1966; 
Whereas William S. Richardson led the Hawaii Democratic 
Party from 1956–1962; 
Whereas William S. Richardson served as the Chief Justice 
of the Hawaii Supreme Court from 1966–1982; 
Whereas the William S. Richardson School of Law honors his 
leadership by opening educational and professional ave-
nues for the Islands’ most disadvantaged groups; 
Whereas William S. Richardson upheld traditional Hawaiian 
laws and expanded public rights for Native Hawaiians 
and all people in Hawaii;
•HRES 1471 IH 
Whereas the majority opinion in Kelo v. City of New London 
provided for the taking of a person’s private property 
through eminent domain for the benefit of another pri-
vate entity; 
Whereas the dissenting opinion in Kelo v. City of New Lon-
don affirmed that ‘‘the public use requirement imposes a 
more basic limitation upon Government, circumscribing 
the very scope of the eminent domain power: Government 
may compel an individual to forfeit her property for the 
public’s use, but not for the benefit of another private 
person’’; 
Whereas the dissenting opinion in Kelo v. City of New Lon-
don expressed concern that the beneficiaries of this deci-
sion were ‘‘likely to be those citizens with dispropor-
tionate influence and power in the political process, in-
cluding large corporations and development firms’’ and 
‘‘the Government now has license to transfer property 
from those with fewer resources to those with more’’; and 
Whereas all levels of government have a constitutional re-
sponsibility and a moral obligation to always defend the 
property rights of individuals and to only execute their 
power of eminent domain when necessary for public use 
alone, and with just compensation to the individual prop-
erty owner: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
