The specific benefits I see in this matter include: <br /> <br /> New, fairer, and clearer guidelines for verifying signatures. <br /> Decreasing the total number of qualified signatures to 10% of the voters who voted in the last Mayoral election. <br /> Eliminating the petition circulators need to get the petitions notarized, especially since their signatures can be <br /> verified by the County. <br /> Defines when the measure becomes law. <br /> Clarifies the chronological order of the new amendment. <br /> Specifies that a non-vote has no effect on the issue. <br /> PLEASE PASS BILL 257 AND PUT IT ON THE BALLOT TO LET CITIZENS DECIDE in November of 2008! <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Michael Katz <br /> 79-983 Kealaola Street <br /> PO Box 2113 <br /> Kealakekua HI 96750 <br /> 324-1600 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
