Print Page 2 of 3 rights where Hawaii County Board of Ethics Chair John Dill, Hawaii County Corporate Counsel Lincoln S.T. Ashida, and the former Hawaii County Prosecuting Attorney Jay Kimura are identified as the County Officers involved in the alleged violations of the Hawaii County Ethics code during the commission of violations of United States Code 18 U.S.0 241 Conspiracy against rights and 18 U.S.C. 242 Deprivation of rights under the color of law. It is noted that the aforementioned Petitions have disappeared from the Boards Agendas even though they would be required to be identified as UNFINISHED BUISNESS in the Board's Agendas until such time a Quorum of the Board could be established to hear the Petitions. It was vary apparent from the non - reactions of the other Board Members that the rest of the Board members were aware of Member Henrick's disqualification prior to the May 11, 2011 Public Agendized Ethics Board Meeting. This alludes to allegations that the Board met in quorum in a non - agendized non - public meeting where Member Henriks discussed and decided to disqualified himself or such action was conducted in serial communications on the matter. Either action is a violation of Hawaii's Open Meeting Statutes, aka The Sunshine Law.

The actions of the Board on Petition No. 2010-10 in relationship to Hawaii County Mayor Kenoi's 4/20/11 letter to the County Council, identified in the Boards meeting as Hawaii County Council Comm.:191, nominating Glen Hisashima to serve on the Board of Ethics, and the strange appearance on the 16 May 2011 agenda of the Hawaii County Council Committee on Finance to conduct Mr. Hisashima's vetting by the Hawaii County Council Committee on Finance, which is Chaired by Council Member Brenda Ford. Such actions could call into question as to weather a back room deal has been made where Mr. Hisashima would be vetted and recommended by Ms. Fords committee and approved by the Council only to find that Mr. Hisahima also has similar conflicts of interests that would prevent the Board of Ethics from establishing a Quorum to hear the aforementioned Petitions, and where such actions could be construed by the Public to have been the result of a deal between Council Member Ford and Mayor Kenoi where the Board would find no violations against Council Member Ford and the Mayor's nomination for the vacant Ethics Board would be approved by the http: / /us.mg2. mail. yahoo .com /dc /launch ?.rand= ffb83avtatp6b 5/12/2011
