Sen. Gilbert Kahele is inviting residents to a town hall meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 19 at the Hilo High School Cafeteria.

Kahele, who represents Kau, Puna and Hilo, will be giving residents a post 2012 Legislature update, including a discussion on Capital Improvement Projects in the East Hawaii district.

“I highly encourage everyone to attend the meeting to learn about how some of the bills passed this session will impact them,” Kahele said. “This will also give residents a chance to ask questions concerning their community.”

Kahele also plans to talk about important measures he was involved in this past session, including the establishment of the Aha Moku Advisory committee, the prohibiting of inter-island transportation of wild or feral deer, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs ceded land settlement and the establishment of an exploratory committee to study the feasibility and resources required to create an aviation training program and academic program at Hilo Airport and UH Hilo, respectively.
