To local residents that use laborers service to these rich people, that are coming to know why. So were hawaii is paradise with the aloha spirit, a lifestyle, sharing and rec
So theres been a concerted effort in ac 21 to continue to focus on these issues. The labeling issue is a challenging one because historically our labeling has been for either nutrition or because of a known hazard or something that requires a warning.

And we will also focus on an effort to do a better job of addressing the challenges that the poultry industry in particular face with disease. We have antiquated facilities, which is, frankly, true of our entire Agricultural Research service. We need a new and creative way to address the challenges of our infrastructure, and one way we can do that is by taking a look at our unobligated balances as representative farr had suggested, allowing us to retain those balances, that are within a budget thats been approved by this committee, and use them to upgrade our facilities.
