nomination papers. 1 would prefer it to back off to February 1 S` in the ,County, but — <br />which would be a little more stringent than the state law, right. <br />DILL: Well, Mr. Yagong had mentioned an informal agreement about —what was that <br />pertaining to, not printing pictures- <br />LUM: -- January I", I think he said January I". <br />DILL: If you could you clarify that for us? <br />YAGONG: Understanding that, you know, it is a reality that some of the concerns - -that <br />back in May I mentioned to both Casey and Mr. Ashida that come January P, because of <br />the upcoming election season, we would voluntarily not do it. And this was in lieu of not <br />knowing what the state law was which is something we decided to do. <br />DILL: The full Council agreed on that? <br />LUM: It was just your office- <br />YAGONG: Yeah, just for us, as an office we decided to do that. <br />DILL: Okay. <br />YAGONG: So in essence, I guess that means that we would be following the state statute <br />as it is. <br />LUM: More stringent than the state law. <br />DILL: You'd go beyond it.

You know, I <br />would like to comment, Mr. Chairman. I think your discussion was very good.

Of course, you'd have the option to move it <br />up a little bit, be more stringent, and of course that's your call. But certainly I believe <br />that the state actually, in putting that law together, really gives us a foundation as far as <br />to what road we should travel. So I personally don't have a problem with that. I'm <br />already voluntarily doing that, but I think it's prudent to do that. <br />NICHOLSON: Mr. Chairman? <br />CHAIR: Yes? <br />27 <br />
