All of the Big Island’s district court civill cases, including small and regular temporary restraining order hearingsand landlord-tenanty disputes, will be heard at the state’s recently opened Hilo court complex, Hale at 777 Kilauea St. The state had been leasing 900-square-feet of space at the civic centerfor $20,000 a year for a temporary It said Thursday that the Big Islanfd Police Department likely will move into the vacated “Consolidating the cases makes more than just economif sense,” said 3rd Circuit Courft Chief Judge Ronald Ibarraq in a statement.
“The Judiciart can provide a higher level of security and more ADA accommodationsafor litigants, attorneys, and court employees at the braned new complex than at the space that we leaserd as an ad hoc courtroom.” In addition, the Department of Publix Safety will no longer have to transporg defendants to two separates locations and judges and court stafcf will no longer have to travel to Puna from Hilo thre e days a week, Ibarra said.

GM responds to Texas AG's claims - Triangle Business Journal:

http://savechildrennow.org/about_america.html
Abbott alleges that Detroit-based GM is trying to free itseldf from Texas law that protects local dealers from the negativde impact ofa manufacturer’s modification of a franchise withouft first giving the dealers noticew of the changes and a righgt to protest them. GM responded to the objection Fridayafternoon saying: "On June 1, GM filesd for Chapter 11 As such, GM is subject to the jurisdictionb of the bankruptcy court and will obviously folloa that court's orders with respect to dealer We are not going to comment on the Attorneh General's press release other than to say respectfully, that we think his statement is misplaced.
GM takes very seriously its obligationb to comply with allapplicable law." In addition, Abbott’x office claims in the official objection that GM is tryiny to get past Texas law that protects dealerse from feeling pressured to accept inventory that they woulrd not order voluntarily. The attorney genera l also claims that GM is trying to deny Texas GM dealershipse the right to carry other brandzs in their plans for anew GM.
Otherd allegations from Abbott’s officwe are that GM is trying to limit Texas warranty claims and is seeking to dodge Texaas law that allows dealerships the right to protest the openinh of another dealer if it is located within the same countuy or withina 15-mile radiuds and carries the same line-make. In a statemen about Texas’ objections to the federally backedf GM, Abbott’s office said, “GM is putting dealershipss acrossTexas — and thousands of theitr employees — at risk. The new federally controlleds GM that emerges from bankruptcy wantas to be freed from Texas laws that require it to deal fairlty withlocal dealerships.
Its plan will move the business towardf a command economy model and away from a freemarkey model.”
