Lee Loy: All right, sir. Councilwoman Nae`ole, for the last three months you have read <br />your name in the newspaper and blogosphere, that somehow your office is being <br />used for campaign purposes. Did you ever campaign in or from your office? <br />Nae `ole: No. <br />Lee Loy: To your knowledge, did anyone in your office, on your behalf, ever use your office <br />for campaign purposes? <br />Nae `ole: No. <br />Lee Loy: Did anyone solicit from your —for your campaign, to your knowledge, from your <br />office? <br />Nae`ole: No. I already was elected, why should we be campaigning? <br />Lee Loy: Do you or does anyone in your office do personal business on company time, and <br />if so, would you please explain? <br />Nae `ole: I had Gwen call my pharmacist to order me some pills that I take. When we had <br />our training with Lincoln, he said if we have to make doctor appointments or <br />something in that realm, it was all right. So I thought that was appropriate. So <br />Gwen did not go and pick it up. I picked it up myself. She just called to make the <br />order. <br />Lee Loy: After you got in office, you folks had that meeting with Lincoln Ashida where he <br />instructed you on how to do Council business, and County business, and personal <br />business. Did he give you that instruction? <br />Nae`ole: Yes, he did. <br />Lee Loy: Have you attempted to follow those guidelines given to you by Mr. Ashida? <br />Nae`ole: Yes, after we had the training. Before the training, I was so brand new that I <br />didn't know a lot of the do's and don'ts. After the training, we made sure that we <br />stuck very strictly to the rules and if we had any questions we would ask Casey <br />Jarman. <br />Lee Loy: And have you —since all this has come out, have you tried as best you can to ask <br />the County Clerk, and to make sure that everything as far as you know is being <br />brought above -board in all —in accordance with Code of Ethics, as far as you are <br />concerned? <br />Nae `ole: Yes, that is why I didn't run out and do anything. I just kind of hold my horses <br />still and had to seek for help, and that is where you both came in and I just allowed <br />you guys to do what you guys had to do. Because I don't know the process of this <br />legality stuff, and so that is all I did. <br />36 <br />
