It was somewhat of a surprise to see state Attorney General Doug Chin front and center in the debate over the president’s revised travel ban.

Debate on the ban, affecting six Muslim-majority countries, has centered in larger ports such as New York.

Hawaii is asking the U.S. District Court for an emergency stay, arguing that the revisions still don’t pass constitutional muster.

The message might work well coming from the Aloha State, but it would seem that there’s already a full policy plate, here at home.

Enjoy a safe cold glass of milk again

Meadow Gold has the go-ahead to resume pouring 2 percent reduced-fat milk at its Honolulu plant following last week’s state-ordered ban on sales due to potential coliform contamination.

The source of the bacterial problem, an equipment issue, was quickly fixed, and, as it turns out, no milk was spilled.

According to the Department of Health, even when tests showed milk samples exceeding the maximum coliform counts allowed, it was still safe to drink as those levels are used as a “quality control indicator.”

Better a bit extra safe than sorry.
