<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: Alex Leonard [alex@pahu-leka.net] <br /> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 8:48 AM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Cc: Pilago, K. Angel <br /> Subject: Testemony on ammendment to HCR 99-05 <br /> To Councilwoman Isbell t j <br /> Chair of the Hawaii Couty Council Finance Comittee t7~ c <br /> C`- r r <br /> I am writing to express my support for the amemdment proposed by ~ f" <br /> Councilman Pilago to Hawaii County Resolution 99-05, relating to <br /> meetings. <br /> Due to the demands of my work schedule, I am unable to attend the council <br /> meeting in person. Please give this e-mail as much weight in your mids as <br /> if I had appeared to testify in person. ; <br /> I will not re-hash all of the arguments in favor of the ammendment _ <br /> proposing that Council meetings be held in Kona on a regular basis. I wish <br /> however to state my observation that due to a number of coinciding factors, <br /> there is increasing tension on the fabric that holds the people of this County <br /> together. Anything that this council can do to alleviate that tension, and <br /> restore to the people some degree of faith in the principles of proportional <br /> and fair representation can and should be done. <br /> The people this county need Ho'o Pono Pono right now, and this council is <br /> in a position to allow them some of that by creating opportunities for those <br /> in West Hawaii to stand and be heard - not to stand in front of some <br /> electronic device or to sit at a comuter screen - but to stand before you and <br /> see your eyes as they speak the truths in their hearts. <br /> To ingonre the call for "fairness" is to further injure the fractured unity of the <br /> community. <br /> I thank you for your time in considering my opinion. <br /> Alex Leonard, Ph.D. <br /> 73-1085 Hamanamana St. <br /> Kailua-Kona <br /> Hawaii 96740 <br /> ph:808-217-9123 <br /> cell: 808-960-3864 <br /> Alex Leonard <br /> alex@pahu-leka.net <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
