HONOLULU -- Voters this November will determine whether or not the state should hold a constitutional convention to make changes to Hawaii's constitution.At the state Capitol on Tuesday, Lt. Gov. James Duke Aiona introduced 10 members of a task force that will study the cost of having a convention. The task force is made up of government and community leaders.The state can hold a constitutional convention every 10 years, if the voters approve it.
"Voters need to know basically what a constitutional convention is, what the purposed of it is, what the process is, and what the cost is, all in a fair and impartial manner," Aiona said.The last time the constitution was changed was 30 years ago. The new task force hopes to be able to tell voters the cost of a convention by August.
