Keli’i Akina and Attorney Jeff Portnoy Talk Story. Curfews, stay-at-home rules, suspension of government open-meeting and Sunshine laws – these are some of the recent measures taken by state and local officials to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic. But how far should the government go in restricting our personal rights and liberties in the name of public safety? Jeff Portnoy, a First Amendment attorney who frequently represents the media, calls Governor Ige’s recent Coronovirus proclamations “over-broad,” and “kind of like martial law.” Join us as host Keli’i Akina and Jeff Portnoy explore this timely topic. The host for this episode is Keli’i Akina. The guest for this episode is Jeffrey Portnoy.
