the mention of the nelson case was simply to point out that if these two "hawaiian dhhl employees" had all that law background, than i assumed they had read the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. if they did and they are so concerned for the rights of the beneficiaries than they would have known that the state general funds are for the dhhl A&O and the trust funds are for the beneficiaries. 5 everyday hawaiians saw it and sued and won.  the state has been ripping those funds off since the admissions act of 1959. 
if being so concerned for hawaiians was their motivation to write something negative of how adding the much need federal rules and regulations to protect ourselves from the state was wrong than lets hope they write more of the $600 million settlement to the beneficiaries that the state drained, or of all the illegal land exchanges that the governors of hawaii have stolen thru illegal executive orders or of the 36000 acres of ROE lands that are being leased to non beneficiaries.
