federal statutes, the County of Hawai `i, which is really the people of Hawai `i, are now <br />liable for the current and all future flooding damage resulting from the illegal stream <br />alterations, to include the payment of state and federal fines. It is not a matter of if a <br />major flood event will occur in Hilo. Historically, it's just a matter of when it's going to <br />happen. It must be anticipated that insurance companies will challenge future claims for <br />damage resulting from the County's actions and the legal cost in defending these claims <br />or fines the state and federal government levies on the County, or the extremely high <br />interest rates the County will have to pay to borrow money, will bankrupt the County of <br />Hawai `i, with a loss of hundreds of County jobs, retirement benefits, and health benefits. <br />It must also be noted that all sworn officials that were presented this information but took <br />no action as required by law, by law will be stripped of any County, state or federal <br />immunities and will be subject to criminal, civil, and personal law suits. Ask your <br />Corporation Counsel attorney if as a volunteer board member you are immune from <br />criminal or civil actions if you take no action or improper action on the information I am <br />presenting before you today. Or, if you follow errant advice of your corporate attorney, <br />make sure that you ask this question on record so that you will have legal witness as to <br />the counsel's answer on this. The verifiable information and evidence contained in this <br />document I am presenting before this Board this date identifies patterns and histories of <br />violations of racketeering activity, in violation of the federal RICO Act as defined by <br />Section 18 of the United States Code, 1961, for acts and actions as principles and <br />accessory after the fact to violations of state and federal statutes for extortion, bank <br />fraud, tampering with a witness, victim, or informant, in addition to violations of the <br />United States Code for acts and actions performed severally and in conspiracy against <br />the rights of a person and the deprivation of rights under the color of law. This <br />information is provided for entrance into official records of this Board and establishes <br />what this Board knew it, when this Board knew it, and what actions the Board took on <br />this misprision of felony. Due to the documented corruption in the County of Hawai `i <br />government, under the influence, control, or extortion of an enterprise engaged in <br />patterns and histories of racketeering activities for the benefit of the enterprise at all <br />levels of the government of the County of Hawai `i, this petitioner moves this Board to <br />refer these matters to the State Attorney General, State of Hawai `i, and to the United <br />States Justice Department, Criminal Division, Public Integrity, Washington, D. C., for <br />investigation. Submitted this date, 9 February 2 -11 [sic], before the Hawaii County <br />Board of Ethics. That being said, I'd also like to point out, as I just had a discussion with <br />reporter Nancy Cook -Lauer outside, she had some questions about the agenda today, of <br />why there were identical entries. There has been a Sunshine Law investigation on since <br />June of 2009 as to why names are being obscured in agendas. The public is not being <br />given sufficient information in order to appear or make testimony. I am sure this <br />identified that Lincoln Ashida, corporate counsel, Jay Kimura, Prosecuting Attorney, and <br />Chairman John Dill here, had been accused of these instances, and they also had similar <br />instances, they might be here testifying. Now I have requested many times, and including <br />in a court document request before Judge Hara, that OIP director Cathy Takase make a <br />memorandum ruling on the June 10 meeting I mean the June 91h meeting June 10`h <br />meeting of '09. She refuses to do it. It's noted that OIP director Cathy Takase is the <br />sister of former corporation counsel Gerald Takase, who was assistant deputy <br />corporation -- assistant corporation counsel, and then became deputy corporation counsel <br />in charge of Public Works. Her brother, Glenn Takase, is a major real estate agent here <br />in Hilo, and her sister -in -law Barbara Takase is a judge. Between the Takases, they have <br />5 <br />
