T. ASHIDA <br /> Corporation Counsel <br /> RE: Reminder on Campaign Restrictions for all County Officers <br /> and Employees <br /> As the political campaign season approaches, we thought it prudent to <br /> issue the following advisory for all County of Hawaii officers and employees. <br /> Department heads are asked to ensure that copies of this memorandum are <br /> circulated to all officers and employees under your charge, as well as all board <br /> and commission members. <br /> In 2006, the State Ethics Commission revised and issued the enclosed <br /> advisory entitled "Campaign Restrictions for State Officials and State <br /> Employees."' All County officers and employees are urged to read this <br /> document very carefully. <br /> We have also enclosed the following opinions from the State Ethics <br /> Commission (a short synopsis of the implications for our County officers and <br /> employees with respect to each opinion is included): <br /> Through a series of amendments in 2002, the Hawaii County Council amended the County <br /> Code of Ethics to bring it in line with the State Code of Ethics. For this reason, advisories and <br /> opinions of the State Ethics Commission are very instructive and should be heeded. <br /> Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Provider <br />
