Rice

Not having read the 15 pages, sin-gle-spaced, small print of the Rice vs. Cayetano court ruling, I still have a huneh that the ruling attacks the process of OHA elections, but does not touch the present trustees. At the time of their election, the court ruling about the process was not in effect. There is a very old principle about law that has to be respected: Do not restrict more than the law restricts. Do not add or extend a restriction that the law does not include. Let's keep it that way. George DeCosta, pastor Malia Puka o Kalani, Keaukaha
