    this is a very good choice to keep aila in because he been a fisherman all his life and he knows what he is doing , i known their families fo a while and the ailas are good people. I think it is good we have Nahela in THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOMELANDS COMISSIONS My prayer is said and it will be by faith , thank god we have good people in politics now.
