FRANKEL: - -No, all I'm saying is that <br />CHAIR: - -I am not for Mr. Arakaki or against. I wish you wouldn't infer those things in <br />front of—we should prohibit him from delaying tactics that's not—if he has a <br />legitimate reason, he has a legitimate reason. <br />FRANKEL: -- that's why I told you to look <br />CHAIR: - -I don't think we should look into his character, that part, that he wants to get <br />away from something and so he's delaying it for his own advantage. <br />FRANKEL: Well, that is why I told you <br />CHAIR: - -I'm trying to be completely neutral in this, but <br />FRANKEL: - -That is why I told you to look at the schedule of the Campaign Spending <br />Commission. <br />CHAIR: Don't tell us.

If not, I would step down from <br />the vice chair, and I would be chairing this Board next time, if he is excused- <br />RW: You are chairing it <br />CHAIR: And, you know —okay, enough said.
