committee hearing the bills. There's still a ways to go, but ACM, UHM and
the Legislature are working together to secure funding to provide and equip
a production facility we can call home. Additional sincere and well-stated
testimony has been received from: Pamela Pang, Mark Wolf, Ruth Bolan,
Princess Dialta Alliata di Montereale, Jeanette Paulson Hereniko, Jeff Hong,
Jamie Kawano, Cindy Lee, Mark Mugiishi, Roy and Hilda Takeyama, and Candy
Suiso.
