Good morning, Honolulu.

🎭 Culture
Emalia Dalire was crowned Miss Hawaii 2025 and held her first media interview on Saturday night at Hawaii Theatre where she thanked the organization and shared her plans to begin community service early Sunday — after beating 12 other delegates as Miss Kaneohe.

🏛️ Government
Hawaii changed its car tint rules for the first time since 1983 when Governor Green signed House Bill 226 on Thursday; the law lets sedans have darker rear tint like trucks and SUVs—DOT will have 90 days to adopt uniform rules and fines will increase for illegal tint.
Hawaii’s congressional delegation is pressing the Navy for more details on a proposal to more than double bombing runs at Kaula—a small island that serves as a nesting ground for 18 bird species including the black-footed albatross.
State officials and conservation groups have raised concerns that the plan could harm a key bird sanctuary.
