Additionally, I have read the Court's <br /> decision on the West Hawaii land fill in order to understand why I must endure a <br /> severe loss in income at a time of economic depression in our State, a time <br /> when I need this income the most. <br /> When you were elected to office, you took on the responsibility and obligation of <br /> serving all of the citizens of this State. Your presentation in WHT left me with <br /> the distinct feeling that you are not exhibiting the leadership which we expect <br /> from our legislators. The Court has carefully laid out the area of the civil service <br /> law which needs correction in its eyes. As is typical today, the courts seem to <br /> ignore the intent of law and dwell on process, as you have done in your <br /> ~zpianation of legislative failure. <br /> `,'c;: r.^~ct call a special session to straighten :ap t~° !~..^.~!~age so that we, the <br /> citizens of this State can get on with life. You do not need task forces, studies <br /> and other gimmicks to delay the solution. The Court decision clearly states what <br /> will s2tisfy the law as they see it. As a former County employee with experience <br /> in the system, I know the financial security offered with a guaranteed civil service <br /> job, as well as, the inefficiencies within the system. <br /> Please call a special session now to clarify the law. The idea of a 2 year <br /> moratorium will not deal with the inevitable, only confuse and delay the solution. <br /> i,_~~,~. 3y!.~u~_ <br /> r,:;,: w3.. LEG- , <br /> xaf.
