don't know who they're representing, necessarily. But if you're asking me, I'm <br />going to say, yeah, I'm representing today Janice Yashiro, and no one else. And <br />if I don't have any reason to be there, I'm out of there. And that's why like, for <br />the most part, people like in our profession, we don't go and testify on the general <br />plan amendments, you know, like any amendments —for me, anyway. I don't <br />make it a practice to go before the boards and commissions or the County Council <br />and say, like, the zoning code should be amended to say this and this and this. I <br />don't make testimony. The way I deal with it is like, you just passed a law, and <br />then I'll have to just deal with it. Because otherwise I feel like it's going to be a <br />personal conflict to say I want to influence in one way or another. So I don't <br />testify, and you can look through like 20 years in legislative history, you know, on <br />the records. I haven't testified on any legislation dealing with other than <br />applications. <br />CHAIR: Members of the Board, do we have any further —have any questions or <br />KI: - -Yeah, I have a question. Okay, according to your petition, if I read this <br />correctly, you're using Mr. Fuke kind of like an example and not —not like <br />condemning- <br />FRANKEL: - -well, in using him as an example, I'm hoping that the will instruct him <br />to <br />KI: - -not only him, though, everybody. You're speaking about everybody. <br />FRANKEL: Yup. <br />KI: So in other words, we're looking at an amendment to this law? <br />FRANKEL: No. <br />KI: No? <br />FRANKEL: You're not looking to—my letter doesn't talk about an amendment- <br />KI: - -No, no, no, no. Not to this particular thing, but amending this to where anybody <br />that wants to speak in front of Council needs to register as a lobbyist? <br />FRANKEL: No. Whatno, no, no, no. I'm —okay, first my letter has to do with existing law. <br />I did say today, I would support changes to the law, for example, getting rid of the <br />attorney exemption. I'm not saying you should require people to register who <br />aren't paid. For exampleI mean, the way the law . So in terms of <br />changing the law, the only thing I think I mentioned was getting rid of the <br />attorney exemption. There may be other things that should change as well, but <br />that's sort of a different matter. <br />CHAIR: Kerry, you want to pursue that? <br />13 <br />
