Court says OHA can't spend tax money only on kanaka maoli programs
In a truly bizarre reversal of an earlier decision, the infamous 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that OHA cannot use tax money on Hawaiian only programs.
"However, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld dismissal of the group's challenge to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
The appeals court's ruling Wednesday overturns a lower court's dismissal of the case on political grounds while affirming a multiethnic group of taxpayers' standing to challenge the Hawaiians-only programs...."
So if OHA can't use state funds for Hawaiian only programs, does that mean that they will lose their reason for existing? Does this mean now that the Arakaki suit now can be continued?
