Here’s your chance to speak up. The State of Hawaii Public Utilities Commission is holding hearings around the islands where the public can weigh in on a proposed temporary rate increase and tariff changes by the shipping company Young Brothers. In February, the company sought an order granting it a temporary rate increase to be implemented in two steps – a first-step increase of 20% by April and a second-step increase of 5% by July. In Maui County, a meeting is scheduled for 6:15 pm on April 30 at Pu‘u Kukui Elementary School, Cafeteria in Wailuku and on Lānaʻi, at 5:30 pm on May 1 at the Lānaʻi Senior Center on 7th Street. One TBD on Molokai. For more details go to puc.hawaii.gov then scroll down to Notice of Public Hearings-Young Bros.
