Honolulu, Hawaii — Representative Lynn DeCoite (East Maui, Molokai, Lanai) and leaders from the Hawaii State House of Representatives held a Lawmakers Listen session at the Haiku Community Center last night where they heard a wide range of concerns from residents in the area.

Members of the community were invited to share their questions and concerns directly with Rep. DeCoite, Speaker of the House Joseph M. Souki, legislative leaders and Maui Representatives Yamashita, McKelvey, Ing and Woodson.

‘Lawmakers Listen’ is an ongoing series of community town halls across the state with district Representatives, members of the House Leadership, and Committee Chairpersons.  The purpose of the meetings is for legislators to listen to the concerns of area residents and to discuss solutions.
