12.  The OIP's contention that the access organizations were not
     created by the State does not appear to have taken into
     consideration the state moneys spent hiring experts to
     devise the structure of the boards, the state involvement in
     drafting the access organizations' bylaws, and the
     implementation of the creation of the access organizations
     through the DCCA's hand-picked initial directors.

13.  As of the time this report was prepared, the State had
     contracts only with 'Olelo and H-o'ike.  Contracts with Akaku
