OHA criticizes state land director


The Star-Bulletin reports that:

"A majority of Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees say they have 'serious concerns' with the leadership of Peter Young, director of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. Six of OHA's nine trustees agreed at a board meeting yesterday to send a strongly worded letter to Gov. Linda Lingle saying that they do not think the department has been fulfilling its mandate to manage the state's public lands for the benefit of native Hawaiians and other state residents. All six trustees at the meeting said they want an audit of the department, as proposed in House Concurrent Resolution 60 by state Rep. Brian Schatz (D, Makiki). Three trustees said they also want Young to resign or be fired. A draft version of the OHA letter to Lingle noted that 'from the times of the Kingdom through the present, the lands and resources now managed by DLNR are of vital importance to Hawaiians.'"
