Br�t�'6y m <br /> Subject: Comm. 67 - establishing a new chapter in County Code re: redistricting <br /> Importance: High <br /> Aloha Governmental Relations Committee members! <br /> It is important to fully support this redistricting plan! If the rules are not spelled <br /> out in the County code, there are those who will disregard the laws set by the U.S. <br /> Supreme Court. A fair, equitable and legal redistricting plan is what is needed and <br /> needed now. The additional criteria that is proposed by Councilwoman Ford gives the <br /> Redistricting Commissioners, when appointed, a real understanding of the law on <br /> redistricting. Also, these criteria give the public the rules by which the Commission: <br /> must draw council district boundaries. <br /> As you know, Puna was the largest loser in the previous redistricting plan, which is <br /> definitely not fair. Let's hope that the new redistricting (reapportionment) plan will be <br /> justly and fairly drawn. If the public does not feel it is, then these additional <br /> criteria provide the court with the rules by which the redistricting plan must be drawn, <br /> should it come to (another) court case. <br /> Please support these new rules and give all Hawaii Island citizens a fair redistricting <br /> plan. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Marjorie Erway <br /> PO Box 2807 <br /> Kailua Kona, HI 96745 <br /> 808 - 324 -4624 <br /> Comm.
