know the owner of the pet supply store, nor the letter writer, but show <br />some couth and aloha. That letter coming from a Planning Commission <br />member nonetheless was disgraceful. One [sic] second thought, maybe <br />I'll make that the dismissive, rude demeanors." And then he gets even <br />nastier, and he tells, "Wait, I do see a Weatherford /Siracusa co- counsel for <br />Puna." And he's—"Let's put an order in now for your statues that will <br />commemorate your nastiness. Was this post dismissive or rude? You bet, <br />because you both are very deserving." I read this letter —yes? <br />DILL: Excuse me. He is who? <br />ENRIQUEZ: This is this Mr. Henderson— <br />DILL: - -Mr. Henderson, okay. <br />ENRIQUEZ: - -Yes. <br />LUM: He's writing- <br />ENRIQUEZ: - -this. And I'll give you guys a copy. So I do know that that Henderson <br />project that I'm talking about - -my whole community fought that. Rene <br />Siracusa, before she was involved in the Planning Commissioner—as a <br />Planning Commissioner —went along with us to fight those 80 -acre <br />parcels that were put up by the Catholic Church property and Kaohe <br />Homesteads.

I think that she has heard the words of other people about <br />perhaps her behavior or her being so outspoken, and, you know, that's all <br />it really takes is just to say I made a mistake, I shouldn't have done that, <br />please forgive me. Thank you for your time. <br />CHAIR: Thank you. <br />ENRIQUEZ: And I do want to give this—if there's some way we can get this put in the <br />minutes so that - -so it's here. Yes. <br />(Ms. Enriquez handed the blog letter she had been reading from to the secretary.) <br />CHAIR: Mrs. Siracusa, do you have anything further that you'd like to add or say? <br />SIRACUSA: Again, I'd like to clarify what Ms. Enriquez was saying, in case you don't <br />understand. I do not know if Greg Henderson, who filed a complaint <br />against me, is actually involved in the family venture called Henderson <br />Timberlands, which I wrote comment letters against on behalf of my <br />12 <br />
