ILLEGAL US OCCUPATION OF HAWAI`I LEAVES HAWAIIANS HOLDING THE BAG ONCE AGAIN
WASHINGTON - The US House yesterday rejected funding for public housing for Native Hawaiians on after the House Republican leader advised party members it could be unconstitutional.
The bill would have reauthorized a 2000 law that guaranteed loans and gave block grants to build infrastructure on land the federal government reserved in the 1920s for Native Hawaiian homesteads.
The vote was 262-162, short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage under a special House procedure.
