Now, when you say that they are being revised, what is the basis of that revision?
Colleen Hanabusa
The Public Record
During the hearing, you mentioned that ACLs for reef fish around Hawaii are currently being updated.
Representative Hanabusa raises important questions about the relationship between MSA, ESA, NMSA, and the role of the Council.
I still don't understand--2006 to 2013 is an awful long period of time to come up with a policy statement.
I was surprised to know that since 2005 your report has been amended, like, 90 times plus.
The BIA's recent approval--some would say 'rubber-stamping' --of certain trust land applications over the objections of other tribes and surrounding communities is causing public support to erode for tribal gaming.
I view that legislation as an example of the safety valve Congress can provide when tribes seek to engage in so-called reservation shopping.
