Holloway Pushes Large New Government Building Plan
Holloway states he will ask the coming Legislature for funds to build a new government building to house administrative departments. Most Capitol offices will move, freeing space for the Senate and House while revenue and construction offices also relocate. Estimated cost around 240000, with the site likely the old government stable area. He also plans further funding for a new Palolo road. On Molokai, the Iroquois captured a baby goat kid and adopted it as ship’s mascot, now tame and beloved aboard.
