Strauss: Great. <br />Chair: Ms. Hale. <br />Hale: Yes. <br />Chair: On your witness list that I have in front of me, we have Liz Bonnell- <br />Hale: —Yes. <br />Chair: And why would she be a witness in this? <br />Hale: My complaint was just —I think it was several. One was, I believe it was <br />harassment and my rights in the workplace and— <br />Chair: —You are going to have to file your own petition on that — <br />Hale: Okay, that's — <br />Chair: —We are not here today for that. <br />Hale: Ms. Bonnell is —she works for County Services and she is assigned to the Human <br />Services Committee that Emily chairs. When you work in a small place like this, <br />you have to evidently build up relationships. I went to Liz, but she noticed there <br />was something wrong in the office. It was kind of quiet when she comes to the <br />office, and I wasn't really happy a lot of times, and she asked me, what's going on <br />Barbara? And I said, I don't know. I think it's because I don't do the things, the <br />personal things, sometimes and it really gets in the way. Then she asks me, like <br />what? I said, well, I tell you — <br />Chair: —I didn't mean, you know when I asked that question I, I am sorry, let me retract, <br />I didn't mean for you to— <br />Hale: — Elaborate. <br />Chair: —to say what she had said. I wanted to know why she is on your witness list and <br />how she would be relevant if we called her today, and if you could just interest that <br />specific point. <br />Hale: Okay, she works with us and I confided in her for different things, and that would <br />be the reason. <br />Chair: But did she see Councilwoman Nae `ole use office workers to do her personal <br />errands? <br />Hale: No, that wasn't the reason I called her. <br />30 <br />
