Hi., Mr. Higa's <br /> argument was that this was unnecessary, if Kona issues were to be discussed, he would <br /> automatically schedule the meeting for Kona. <br /> Mr. Higa has put an exclamation point on the value of his word by this action. Council <br /> has increased the divide between east and west. I have long felt that deficiencies in county <br /> government should be repaired; I am now thinking that division of the county is the only <br /> viable solution to this sham of a government. Reading the state constitution, it is good to <br /> see that only legislative action is required to achieve this goal. <br /> I could comment on the disrespect that the proposed actions, before adoption of the CDP, <br /> will show, and that the council is being cowardly in holding this meeting in Hilo, knowing <br /> how important it is to the people of W.Hi. who will bear the impact of the proposed actions. <br /> But I shall not after years of hoping that council would listen to the people who elected <br /> them, Mr. Higa's reprehensible prejudicial leadership has led me to give up on our present <br /> county government. <br /> Marshall Blann <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> _ N <br /> C..3 <br /> "Cl <br /> <br /> 4J <br /> I~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
