This just after that idiot Inslee has again imposed lockdown restrictions on this state. Apparently there are a few restaurants and mom and pop retail stores which haven't gone bankrupt yet. Well, Inslee is going to take care of that.

Lawmakers from California, Texas and Washington state traveled to Hawaii this week for an annual political conference despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has grounded most global travel ahead of the holidays.

The Independent Voter Project, a nonprofit group that has hosted the four-day event every November for more than a decade, is holding the event a third of its typical size this week at the Fairmont Kea Lani on Maui’s southwest shore, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“Somebody has to be first to say, ‘OK, we’re going to do a group event safely,’” Dan Howle, chairman and executive director of the Independent Voter Project, told the paper.

The organization said it paid for the airfare and five-night stay at the Fairmont for all 120 guests, which includes nearly 20 legislators from California, Texas and Washington state, as well as their family members and lobbyists.

Mr. Howle wouldn’t name the lawmakers but told The Sacramento Bee that both Democrats and Republicans were participating in the event that started Monday.

...

Mr. Howle said he decided last month to go forward with the event after Hawaii instituted its Safe Travels Program, which allows visitors to avoid a 14-day mandatory quarantine if they provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of travel.

...

Mr. Howle told Politico the event received special permission from Maui County to convene a group larger than 12 people.

How convenient the rules have been suspended for these lawmakers (whoever they are). Hawaiians are such an accommodating people.
