Because in private practice, you <br />5 <br />basically get to choose who your clients are. We don't <br />6 <br />have that choice, you know? We represent everybody who <br />7 <br />is a County employee or official, and also the board <br />8 <br />members, you know. So questions can be asked of us, <br />9 <br />and so we would collaborate with everybody. We don't <br />10 <br />have a choice. And we take cases as they are. <br />11 <br />I'm not too sure if that's a complete answer, <br />12 <br />but is there something else that you wanted me to -- <br />13 <br />MR.

HIGGINS: And we don't have an exact <br />17 <br />number, and we've had comparisons to attorneys in <br />18 <br />Honolulu, but that's not really a fair comparison. <br />19 <br />MR. KAMELAMELA: No, I think it's a little <br />20 <br />bit more fair if you look at how the salaries of, you <br />21 <br />know, the County of Maui than the County of Honolulu <br />22 <br />are, like what their salary rates are because Maui is <br />23 <br />comparable to us, you know, for the Corp. Counsel. <br />24 <br />Also, Honolulu is a little bit more. In fact, I'm <br />25 <br />aware that in Honolulu, you know, they're talking about <br /> <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br /> <br />
