I woztld appreciate it if <br /> someone would read my tetimony aloud as I am unable to attend the hea~zng regarding this issue. <br /> Mahalo! <br /> .1; <br /> Regarding appointment of Warren Chong to Board c~f~t~l}ics: <br /> d~: 9 21 <br /> Mayor Yamasluro is appointing to this important boa~•~,,yet another growth <br /> advocate with development ties stronger than a steel beam. I;fc~i,persorl or as`s{ie <br /> comes before this commission regarding a developer or development interests, will <br /> Warren Chong have to disqualify himself from judgment? This is a large question. <br /> So many people in our county administration and legislative branch have these ties <br /> that perhaps Mr. Chong would be unable to make a judgment in many crucial <br /> cases. <br /> Once again, I ask the same question of our mayor and council: isn't there a <br /> different pool to choose from than those whose main interests lie in the pumped up <br /> development of our island? fire we not assui°ed by democratic govermment that <br /> vai-ied interests will be met to set-ve us and our needs -even in the appointment of <br /> committees like the Ethics Soard? Isn't it possible for Mr. Chong to do work for his <br /> community without being given a government appointment? <br /> I do not feel not represented by any of the people chosen by the mayor to <br /> make the important decisions which affect my life. In deliberating Mr. Chong's <br /> appointment to this board, I ask that my council representatives search within <br /> themselves for the salve stamped "Integrity -please use liberally on affected area." <br /> Please vote against Mr. Chong's appointment. <br /> Mahalo for your consideration in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, `7v7viir e f~ralwira <br /> Comm, DI0. 0' <br /> File 1Qo.
