Aloha,

We have recently received news that the House CPC Committee is voting on HB2652 this afternoon, February 6, at 2:15 in Room 325.  This bill would require the DCCA to split PEG Access into three parts with three different access centers running them.  This would force a waste of resources and decimate the thriving community access we currently have. 'Olelo and our PEG Access sister organizations are united in STRONG OPPOSITION to this dangerous bill and testified in opposition last week. At that time, the Committee deferred the bill but still scheduled the bill for decision-making today.  , so please call or email the following CPC members and let them know that you would like them to preserve this vital community resource by voting against HB2652:

 

CPC Chair        Robert N. Herkes        586-8400

Vice Chair:      Ryan I. Yamane           586-6150

 

Members:

Tom Brower 586-8520	Angus L.K. McKelvey 586-6160
Rida T.R. Cabanilla 586-6080	Joseph M. Souki 586-9444
Mele Carroll 586-6790	Clift Tsuji 586-8480
Denny Coffman 586-9605	Corinne W.L. Ching 586-9415
Ken Ito 586-8470	Barbara C. Marumoto 586-6310
Gilbert S.C. Keith-Agaran 586-6210	Cynthia Thielen 586-6480
