Expecting House and Senate filing of the Convention of States resolution in just a matter of days, Team Hawaii paid another visit to the capitol on Wednesday, Feb 12.  

Working in four groups of two, the eight-member team visited all 76 legislative offices encouraging support for Convention of States by passing out a freshly minted set of Frequently Asked Questions, plus last year's bipartisan survey results.
