Thielen, Chair <br /> Senator Lorraine R. Inouye, Vice Chair <br /> Committee on Government Operations <br /> Dear Chair Thielen, Vice Chair Inouye, and Committee Members: <br /> RE: SB 2038, Relating to Board Members <br /> SB 2038, allowing board members to attend certain named functions, is so <br /> narrow a reform that one would hope it is unobjectionable. <br /> It is a good thing for board members to be as active and educated in the <br /> workings of government as possible, and to the extent that those members are willing <br /> and able to attend a public address by a government leader, we should be encouraging <br /> such involvement. <br /> It seems to me that even broader reform should be considered, but if that is not <br /> feasible, SB 2038 should receive your favorable vote. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Harry Kim <br /> MAYOR <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
