The first Hawaii hotels to implement a Hawaii vaccination passport mandate have just announced that starting October 15, all persons entering their properties must provide proof of full vaccination. That includes employees, guests, and others. The news comes as Hawaii announced 380 new Covid cases today, which, if accurate, is significantly lower than what we have been seeing recently.
The included hotels are the Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach, Ambassador Hotel Waikiki, Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, Courtyard Marriott Waikiki Beach, Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach, Park Shore Waikiki, and Pearl Hotel Waikiki.
This is the first of what we expect will be more similar announcements. It was unveiled today by executives of Highgate Hawaii at a press conference attended by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Assn., and government officials.
The company said it is contacting upcoming guests to advise them of the policy change and requirements. The mandate will apply to all employees as well, with limited exemptions for religious or medical reasons. The rollout was spurred by the Safe Access Oahu vaccination passport program, which starts on September 15 (see details below).
Maui officially announces vaccination passport requirements.
Yesterday, Maui joined Honolulu in formally mandating proof of vaccination for entry to some businesses. The Safer Outside program was revealed yesterday and will, like Oahu’s program, go into effect next week, once formally approved by the governor. The rules are set to be reviewed in 30 days.
Safer Outside includes a reduction in capacity for commercial boating, ground transport, and commercial tours. No spectators will be allowed at indoor and outdoor sports events. “We are calling our new set of rules Safer Outside… This means that all gatherings up to a maximum of 10 should be held outside whenever possible. We are modifying social gatherings inside five people, outside up to 10 people… For outside shared areas, individuals must comply with physical distancing requirements of at least six feet of physical separation from all other persons who are not part of the same household. And this goes for everyplace that you’re at.” — Sandy Baz, Maui County.
Maui’s Mayor indicated they might have additional guidelines to be announced subsequently. Also, employees can either be vaccinated or be tested regularly. Details of that are forthcoming. In addition, any event of more than 50 persons must obtain an exemption.
All customers over age 12 must provide proof of full vaccination. Those younger are exempt.
Maui restaurants and bars will now need to close by 10 pm. Guests are to remain seated and not socialize.
Those not fully vaccinated can only be served in outdoor dining areas. They can also access takeout and drive-thru services.
All gyms and fitness centers can continue to operate at 50% capacity indoors, with the same vaccination requirement for those over age 12. Facilities must verify vaccination status.
Violation of rights – not according to Maui and ACLU.
Sandy Baz, Maui County’s manager, said, “for those claiming that vaccine mandates compromise civil liberties, the American Civil Liberties Union does disagree.” The ACLU says, “Far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable among us, including people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated and communities of color hit hard by the disease.”
What proof is acceptable on Oahu and Maui?
Vaccination cards, including images or in digital form, will be acceptable proof on Oahu and Maui for now. The state is planning for some form of an electronic verification system, which has not yet been announced. Last week, Ige said that, for these new vaccination passports, the state would have the ability to verify those vaccinations which took place in Hawaii. Still, he did not discuss those vaccinated elsewhere.
Each island can implement its own rules.
The governor reiterated last week that each island could move separately. And Oahu and Maui have already done so.
Mitch Roth of the Big Island said, “we have been looking at it (vaccine passports)… We don’t have a lot of the (financial) safety nets we had last year… We have not decided yet… We are also waiting to see what happens with Honolulu.”
Kauai is also contemplating a vaccine passport and is looking first to see what happens with Honolulu’s implementation. “We’re taking a look at it,” said Mayor Kawakami.
Why vaccination Passports for Hawaii restaurants? 20 Covid clusters at restaurants just occurred.
As the country is hit by the latest wave of COVID-19 courtesy of the Delta Variant, Hawaii is again looking to roll out restrictions to prevent further virus spread. It was reported by the State Department of Health last week that at least 20 recent Covid clusters in Hawaii in a recent two-week period are related to restaurants.
Recently, renowned Hawaii restauranteur Peter Merriman said that all staff and customers would be vaccinated against Covid.
The use of commercial vaccination passport apps is up next.
We believe Hawaii will soon move for verification to the three state-approved commercial vaccination passports that thus far have been solely used as options for Hawaii travel. Lt. Gov. Green confirmed that idea, stating, “all we really have to do is, work with either Clear or CommonPass, who we already have a deep relationship with, who are helping us with the Safe Travels program to show that people are vaccinated. He said it would make life easier in Hawaii.
These are the Hawaii-approved vaccination passports.
BOH note: In terms of travel to Hawaii, registering and complying with the requirements of the state’s Safe Travels program remains the only current requirement for all arrivals (not required for interisland travel). Safe Travels is needed to create your trip, link and obtain approval of these vaccination/testing passport exemptions, and lastly, complete the required health questionnaire within 24 hours of travel. The passports below are simply options.
CommonPass Hawaii – SMART Health Card.
CommonPass said that “U.S. visitors with a ‘SMART Health Card’ digital vaccine record can use CommonPass to verify that they’ve been vaccinated and waive the testing requirements… When travelers use the CommonPass exception to confirm their vaccination status in Safe Travels, they will be instantly verified, rather than needing to wait for verification as they would when uploading a paper CDC card.”
First, you download the CommonPass App, available for both iOS and Android. Finding it in the phone stores can be confusing, so we found it easiest to start here.
Next, either 1) scan your vaccination record directly into the app. “Note: CommonPass does not accept CDC vaccination card uploads.” Or, 2) for test results, “select the lab where you were tested and log into the lab portal through the CommonPass app or scan or import your SMART Health Card QR. Note: you must get tested at a CommonPass compatible lab.” Then, use the CommonPass and the pass ID number as the exception method in the Safe Travels Portal.
CLEAR Health Pass.
CLEAR Health Pass can be used by all passengers 18 and older. CLEAR’s no-cost mobile phone app’s health pass allows 1) vaccine verification or 2) negative test results to be uploaded.
To use CLEAR, upload your proof of vaccination or COVID test result on the CLEAR app and then go to the Safe Travels website and apply for quarantine exemption via the CLEAR Health Pass. Also, complete the health questionnaire on the Safe Travel site within 24-hours of travel.
AZOVA Simple Health Pass.
AZOVA offers expanded Covid testing options. You can also get vaccinated through AZOVA’s vaccine network or get your digital vaccine record confirmed by them to obtain your Simple Health Pass. You must link this pass with Hawaii Safe Travels. All adults 18 and over must still register with the Hawaii Safe Travels online system. Each child traveling with an adult should be included in the adult’s Safe Travels form.
As with the other vaccination passports, once you have you apply for Exemption/Exception from Quarantine and in this case, choose the AZOVA Exemption and select your trip and enter your name. In the AZOVA Exemption, enter your Credential ID and press Verify (you will see a verification status once completed).

Wow, what started as a very informative article (Mahalo BOH!) has generated 2000+ comments … including diatribes from both sides on the vaccine issue … and the comments continue. As my Nonna used to say “che casino!”
Matt B says
Does the clear health pass renew when it expires or do you have to upload vaccination card again when it expires is 278 hours? Makes no sense to keep uploading card
Gerhard says
I have reached out to Maui County Government to get their take on Canadian Vaccination Certificates and got the following response:
Aloha Mr. ….
Due to you and your wife being vaccinated with an FDA authorized vaccine (Pfizer) that will be valid proof for use in restaurants.
Mahalo for asking.
Safe travels,

Bobbie H says
The clear app is not uploading my vaccine card. Now what?I’m trying to plan a trip to Honolulu. The clear app seems to be the the only one that allows an upload of cards. I don’t want to take another test for travel and unsure if the app would upload it either. Any suggestions?
BARBARA M says
BOBBIE… Why are you trying to use the CLEAR app? It’s only available in about 2 states in the country as you can only upload a “digital” cared and is irrelevant anyway. You have to use Safe Travels in the end anyhow so why not just keep it simple and not bother!
Michael H. says
We will have been in Maui for a week when “Safer Hawai’i” kicks in on Oct 15th, so we will carry our CDC Vaccination card everywhere and will show it when asked. Is there an additional vaccination passport app or requirement (that you know of at this time) that will be required?
Thanks
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Michel.
You mean to say September 15, rather than October 15, and no, just bring your proof.
Aloha.
Darleen C says
If we fill out the safe travels info, why do we need a vaccination passport? Please explain. Thank you.
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Darleen.
No, you can simply follow the Safe Travels vaccination exemption protocol. Nothing more is needed at this time and the passports remain just an option.
Aloha.
David B says
The “Safe Travels” web site includes the ability to request a quarantine exemption for a particular trip. For example, one can upload their vaccine info, plus a photo of the precious paper card, to receive the exemption. Another way is to upload a negative test result from a test that meets their requirements and was taken within 72 hours of your final flight to HI.
The “Vaccine Passport” has nothing to do with avoiding quarantine. It has to do with being able to dine inside a restaurant, go to a gym, movie theater, etc. Appears to be same thing as NYC has done. FWIW, NYC has stated that Outside US vaccinations are acceptable for their “passport.”
Rich says
So has Hawaii, It is on their website.
SupMom says
Where a LOT more testing is going on…Israel, Singapore, even Duke University the data shows that vaccinated people are spreading Covid-19. And that the vaccines effectiveness wanes with time. No question that the vaccine prevents death and a severe outcome. However, requiring vaccinations will not prevent the spread of Covid and may actually encourage more variants to arise within vaccinated individuals. Natural immunity from a previous infection has been shown to be more effective than the vaccines against the newer variants. To require a 12 year old that has a close to 0% chance of developing severe Covid to be vaccinated to eat at a restaurant when we now know it doesn’t prevent the spread of Covid, just doesn’t make sense. I am vaccinated but still wonder why we don’t have equivalent ‘previous infection/recovery cards’ available for the millions who have already had it and recovered?
Heyward B. says
Hi SUPMOM.
Most likely because it doesn’t support the announced political narrative that everyone must be vaccinated.
One of the Rules for Politics is:
When facts do not support the theory, disregard or dispose of the facts.
Matt S says
Get the vaccine you will not die
VB says
No.
Joerg H. says
So, what are you suggesting, that people not get vaccinated and play Russian Roulette with COVID?? Bottom line is that everyone should get vaccinated, regardless of whether or not you’ve had COVID. There’s actually some studies that suggest that natural immunity plus the vaccine might be the best protection of all. What there’s not a definitive answer to is if natural immunity alone provides better and worse protection from COVID. There are some conflicting studies so we can’t draw any conclusions for now. Therefore, the safest thing to do is just go ahead and get vaccinated anyway. As for 12 year old’s. What you said was true at the beginning of the pandemic when we closed the schools and locked down. However, now the numbers are a bit more grim for children and the latest numbers seem to suggest that severe COVID in children with the advent of the Delta variant and the opening up of schools, etc. has gone Way up. A CDC study showed that COVID in children and adolescents increased five-fold from late June to mid-August.
Tim m says
Not sure if Hawaii travelers over 65 are aware that the state of Hawaii just decided that all things being equal those over age 65 will be denied medical care if the hospitals become full in favor of younger patients , hopefully it doesn’t get to this situation .
Nancy S says
Where did you read this. Can you provide a link?
Tim m says
This was in the online addition of the star advertiser Sunday sept. 12 as the featured story . The need to ration health care was known if covid hospitalizations increase but what was decided by the governor recently is that the age of 65 will be a determining factor in making the decision as to who to treat and who will be denied treatment if all the other Determining factors are equal . Some states have had to ration healthcare and deny a bed to critical patients .
Nancy S says
Because I am not a subscriber, I was unable to read it. Has there any other news on this?
JohnW says
Emergency medical care already is being rationed in Idaho. The unvaccinated have filled the hospitals to capacity and people are being turned away for other emergency care. They simply don’t have the room to treat them and as one Doctor pointed out “every single Covid patient in his hospital was unvaccinated”. It’s well covered in today’s Seattle Times as is a story about a man in Alabama with a heart problem who was turned away from 43 hospitals due to unvaccinated Covid patients before he died.
The unvaccinated situation is not just preventing the economy from recovering, it’s killing a lot of people too.
I’m fully aware this sounds harsh, but it also happens to be the reality of what we all are dealing with. People should be basing decisions on reality and not some random conspiracy theory or lie they read on line.
Elie K. says
You need to stop watching the “news” and reading newspaper “headlines” and read the actual data. Nothing you said is factually true. Even the directors of the hospitals confirmed this. Please do the research on your own before spreading information like this.
Matt S says
👎
Joerg H. says
ELiE K.,
The problem with “do your own research”, which usually means Google it, is that you have no way of determining the veracity of the information you are getting. I could put something on my blog claiming I’m a doctor and I’ve found that the vaccine will make you smarter, faster, and taller and it would show up in your Google search. One of the things that true journalists do, they check out the information, get multiple sources, etc. before they go to press. Also note that just because it’s coming from a “news” channel, doesn’t mean it’s Journalism. Much of what’s on Fox and MSNBC, etc. is really opinion. Bottom line is that what John W. said above is basically information that comes from many reliable sources. Note, for example, in yesterdays Alaska News there’s a story about how Alaskas largest hospital is rationing care because of the number of COVID cases it’s dealing with. These stories are popping up all over the US, but especially from low vaccinated states. adn.com/alaska-news/2021/09/14/amid-covid-19-overload-providence-alaska-medical-center-now-prioritizing-care-under-crisis-standards/. So, in the end, I suggest that we all Not “do our own research”, but instead listen to the agencies that we Pay a Ton of money for, like the CDC and leave it at that.
JohnW says
Thanks Joerg…this is as of today..
Idaho hospitals are so overwhelmed with the surge in coronavirus cases that doctors and nurses have to contact dozens of regional hospitals across the West in hopes of finding places to transfer individual critical patients.
The situation has grown so bad that the Idaho Department of Health and Wellness announced Thursday that the entire state is in a hospital resource crisis, permitting medical facilities to ration health care and triage patients.
PegM says
Yeah, those crazy left wingers at The Wall Street Journal are trying to trick us because….
FB has always been the go to for in depth coverage, of nonsense.
John says
LOL… I like the joke that has someone sitting at their computer and yelling to their spouse….”Look honey, I found something on the internet that all the Doctors and Researchers missed!”
Judy C says
Aloha everyone!
May I ask for suggestions of things to do on the island for families? We have a 9 year old and almost 2 year old, looking for activities and places to eat.
Mahalo in advance!
BARBARA M says
JUDY C… Don’t know which island you are visiting but most have Facebook pages which are very active and a much better source of information. If you are visiting Kauai, Kauai has at least 2-3 – just look up “kauai”.
Monica S. says
Hi!
I’m soon planning a trip to Oahu & Maui – I’m from Europe & have a vaccination passport issued here, in digital format. Any idea, would this be acceptable?
Thanks in advance,
Monica
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Monica.
It will not be acceptable. You need to follow the Safe Travels testing protocol.
Aloha.
RIch says
The European documentation is not acceptable to enter Hawaii but it can be used along with other countries’ documentation to prove vaccination status at hotels and restaurants. It must be a CDDC or WHO approve vaccine. So nice to have a topic that is cut and dried on Covid.
Gerhard says
How do you know that? Is there a source where I can see this in writing? I am trying to find out and nobody is able to tell me if a Canadian Vaccination Certificate is accepted. The Restaurants I contacted did not know anything. Only one said: Maybe.
Even that was not helpful.
Rich says
oneoahu.org/safe-access-oahu?LID=1104976_LINK_1&HACMP=EMMP_HM-PTR-Solo_PC-HNL_20210909&MID=1104976&RID=RS5762471332
“Proof of a US FDA approved or US FDA EUA vaccination (currently Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson) administered outside the United States is acceptable for employees and patrons/customers.
○ For employees, the employer must be able to provide an English version of the employee’s documentation upon request for verification
○ For patrons/customers, the establishment should exercise reasonable discretion in accepting an official immunization record from outside the United States. One significant factor to consider is whether the document has enough English to be comprehensible or is in a language the establishment employees can comprehend. “
Heyward B. says
I fear we are moving away from the inherent obligation of leadership to promulgate and encourage the wisdom necessary for a free person, indeed a free society, to choose their path carefully and wisely, and toward a darker position.
I find the concept that in order to be free of one thing I must surrender perhaps more freedom to another difficult to understand. I don’t view the freedom of Americans as being a zero-sum proposition.
I suggest any mass immunization program that uses compulsion rather than persuasion will, on balance, do more harm to the well being of a free people than any good it was intended to convey.
While I wish it otherwise, I believe no good shall come of this. For Hawaii or the nation.
JohnW says
Asking people to be either vaccinated or show proof of a recent negative test when entering in situations that have already created the spreading of a virus that is like russian roulette and has killed or devastated so many people already hardly seems like compulsion to me. It certainly is not as restrictive as the vaccine requirements we abided by as children going to school, that wiped out Polio, Diphtheria, whooping cough etc. and saved millions of keiki lives.
Given our current situation what really is the problem with asking diners to either be vaccinated to sit at a table or if not please take advantage of the carry out options. Seems to me that’s very respectful of the people that opt out of the vaccination and yet still gives them fair options.
Heyward B. says
Hello JohnW
Whether I have to wear a mask to use the men’s room or order a hamburger at Big Kahuna Burgers is ‘de minimus’. Such is not the issue. These things are simply annoyances resulting from the ongoing prepping of the COVID political battlefield.
COVID is a virus than infects humans. It is poorly understood. We actually know we poorly understand it because despite almost 2 years of encounters we continue to witness gross errors in the medical and societal approaches to reducing it. COVID will do what virus’s have done since humans first encountered them. Infections may increase; they may decrease. But it will be the single little COVID virus cell that dictates which.
You and I are simply caught in the frenzy of political entities that know they will not long survive if they are viewed as not being able to offer something to those to whom they are ultimately accountable. They realize a drowning man will cling to anything to remain afloat, so we are being told we are drowning and receiving just that – anything. My fear is that among those anythings is the loss of freedom to make moral and ethical decisions for oneself.
I doubt we who read this shall witness the end of COVID. My biggest concern is that when the last little COVID virus falls to earth, those who remain are not as free from political control as when the first one flew.
JohnW says
Well Heyward, you are spot on that this issue has been politicized. Interesting how Canada has done so much better then we have. Whether on the left or the right, Canadians didn’t politicize this and all just pulled in the same direction. Nobody said it was hoax. Everyone agreed it was a problem and getting everyone vaccinated was the safest and quickest way out of this mess. It’s working nicely for them.
Telling people that they should get vaccinated or wear a mask when appropriate isn’t politics, undermining that message is.
Randy S says
you are so articulately correct!
Marilyn S says
My neighbors, 76 and 74 hesitated to get their vaccines because their daughter in law, a naturopath, opposed it. Now they are the only ones not sick (because they DID get vaccinated). Both their sons, both daughters in law, are now very sick and need grand parents to care for grandchildren. Thankfully they listened to their doctor!
Gp says
So let’s say it as it is vaccination is a requirement even though it really shouldn’t be. These people have become a law unto themselves and it is not civil or legal. It does not recognize those are naturally vaccinated or I would rather take a test. When are people going to learn that if you are vaccinated you can still get the virus and you can still spread the virus!!
James B says
As soon as the unvaccinated recognize that they are more likely to be hospitalized and die than the vaccinated. As soon as the ones with Covid-created antibodies recognize that getting vaccinated provides an extra level of protection.
Mychal says
GP,
We all know that the vaccinated can still get the virus and can still transmit the virus. We also know that if you wear you seatbelt you can still die in an accident but it still smart to wear a seatbelt.
Let’s use the King County, Washington (Seattle area) data as an example since they do a great job of tracking vaccinated vs. unvaccinated statistics. In the last 30 days, unvaccinated persons were 7x more likely to test positive for COVID, they were 50x more likely to be hospitalized and they 30x more likely to die.
In a restaurant full of vaccinated people, you are far less likely to contract Covid because the patrons are far less likely to have Covid. And, if the folks in the restaurant do happen to get COVID they are way, way less likely to go to the hospital and further burden an already overwhelmed system.
To all those that choose to not get immunized, we respect your choice but please understand that it is a selfish one. As an unvaccinated person, you are more likely to get infected therefore you are more likely to infect those around you.
And why not get the vaccine? Because of the infinitesimal risk of a severe side effect? Every single hospital in the world, all the top epidemiologists, and 99.9999% of MDs strongly recommend the vaccine but you got to find some random YouTube post by a chiropractor or vet that recommends otherwise.
As always, the adults in the room will continue to stay on the courageous and patriotic path and do what’s best for our community and country as a whole. No thanks needed – it’s what we do.
JC says
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this post. This is the reality, it’s the bottom line, it’s true, responsible, and what people need to hear. Please everyone, think of the greater good, it’s your chance to make a difference in the world, it really is. Please be responsible for those who rely on you to help protect those needing protection, children, immunocompromised, frail, and elderly. It’s public health, and should not be political. Even the ACLU supports vaccine mandates. Thank you again for your post.
JohnW says
Well said MyChal…..you brought up patriotism and that’s so true. We won WW2
because the whole country pulled together and made sacrifices far greater then
the simple act of wearing a mask and getting vaccinated. Times have sure changed.
kathleen says
As a senior I grew up when vaccines were mandated..the polio vaccine came about when I was about 9yo..I couldn’t attend school in NH in 6th grade until I got the smallpox vaccine.My brother and I did had the usual childhood illnesses of it’s time like measles, chicken pox, whooping cough and survived. Through vaccines we have virtually eradicated these and as time went on and people are choosing not to vaccinate their children they are coming back. I am of the mindset to do what is best for all and with a more or less safe vaccine I have a hard time understanding why someone wouldn’t get the vaccine if it meant preventing yourself or someone you love from contracting a deadly virus.
Beth C. says
I am 72 and vaccines have been around for a long time.I did not have all my vaccines as a child and got measles, mumps and chicken pox. I remember being very sick with all of them. I had to get a small pox vaccine to attend college. I am a firm believer in vaccines.
Beth C. says
I don’t normally like to read all these comments about Covid on BOH but you did a great job of stating the facts. I have been vaccinated and am hoping to get my booster next month.
Marilyn S says
My neighbors, 76 and 74 hesitated to get their vaccines because their daughter in law, a naturopath, opposed it. Now they are the only ones not sick (because they did get vaccinated). Both their sons, both daughters in law, are now very sick and need grand parents to care for grandchildren. Thankfully they listened to their doctors, not the naturopath!!
Alexis says
You just never know how your body is going to respond… Russian roulette. 2 of my friends have had severe reactions to the vaccine and most likely life long health issues now. I had Covid months ago and recovered fairly easy- I refuse to get the vaccine- I have antibodies and don’t want to mess with my health when there are no long term studies– who knows what is going to happen to these spike proteins in 3,
5 years.
Nancy S says
How long do you expect your antibodies to last? If you wait for long term studies you could face a severe disease or death. Imagine if everyone waits for long term studies…. I guess the world will be much, much less populated. I would respectfully suggest you not take a long term view, unless meeting your maker is OK with you.
John says
Candi, Aloha still means taking care of others is most important. Don’t be misled by
a handful of blog posts as speaking for everyone that lives here. There are many many people that do many many good things for others over here. Aloha is certainly under attack, but it’s far from dead.
John says
Sorry, I thought I tagged this to Candi’s post further down were she lamented the loss of Aloha
JohnW says
Odd that a few are calling vaccines requirements “anti” Aloha. The very core of Aloha is caring about others not just yourself.
Rich says
Aloha. I received a communication from Hawaiian Airlines today which I thought I should share. It refers to Safe travel on Oahu and the requirement to prove vaccination to gain admittance to the Hawaiian Airlines lounges. There is a link to the official website where it states that foreigners may produce proof of vaccination overseas, so I would presume that will apply to Hotels and Restaurants too. One piece of not so good news for some folks vaccinated overseas is that only Pfizer, Moderna and J&J are acceptable as these are the ones recognized in USA. The Uk, Indian, Russian and Chinese Vaccines are not on the list. Luckily I insisted on Pfizer which seems to come out top on most scales and is globally accepted. Anyway this is information from the County / State not opinion so I thought I would share,
I would hope Safe travels adopts a similar policy in time, allowing vaccinated foreign travelers the same facilities as US residents vaccinated in the USA.
Tim m says
People may not like vaccination laws but they are allowed and this Supreme Court decision is still the legal precedent. Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court’s decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.
James C. says
That case is ripe for review. There is a new, more conservative court now. This will not stand. Lawsuits are already being drawn up Tyranny will never work in America. No matter how well you want to dress it up!
Liam G says
Roughy to you by the same people that got you the Honolulu rail lol how’s that working out.
