[HIham] [koolau-arc] RELATING TO THE USE OF MOBILE PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES WHILE DRIVING

[Kevin Bogan]

Please individualize your testimony.  When the legislature took testimony
for the antenna bills, they read aloud the individual submissions, but
picked up the approximately 85 testimonies that used the same form letter,
didn't read them, and dropped them on the table announcing 85 against.

Thanks,
Kevin, AH6QO
