[HIham] Fwd: Re: Cell phone legislation, status update

[Bev Yuen]

OOPS.  Sorry, but the link for the video of the Transportation and 
Planning Meeting was incorrect.
Here's the correct one.

Scroll down to the April 9th meeting of the Transportation and 
Planning Committee and click on "video".
There's a search function.  Search for Bill 4 so you don't have to 
watch irrelevant stuff.  (Some of the captioning says CD1, but it is 
really CD2.)
