The Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal calling on the U.S. Navy to close its Red Hill fuel tanks which have contaminated drinking water. HSTA’s board approved the proposal Friday, which calls for an immediate emptying of fuel and a full closure of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.
