MS. POINDEXTER: So it's just for clarification on their testimony, right? <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Yes. <br />MS. POINDEXTER: Okay, thank you. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you very much, Dean. The next testifier is Dan Marks, <br />representing himself, and he wrote down here that he is testifying in opposition. I'm not <br />sure what he is opposing, but I'm sure he will tell us. <br />DAN MARKS <br />(At this time Dan Marks came forward to address members of the Commission.) <br />MR. MARKS: Aloha. I am rising in opposition to the redistricting plan. From what I <br />understand, it shouldn't be a consideration of the council who is running for re- election, and <br />when you are drawing those lines, you shouldn't take that into consideration. So, I was <br />hoping that you guys wouldn't do that and just act according to your rules. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: I would like to clarify. Are you saying that you are opposed to the <br />changes to the plan that we made at our last meeting, or not? <br />MR. DEAN: Well, I guess I would be opposed to the consideration of changing your mind, <br />and sticking with the original plan. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Changing it back again? <br />MR. DEAN: Changing your mind from your original vote. <br />MS. POINDEXTER: Are we clarifying? That wasn't a clarification though. It's a <br />question. I thought we were going to clarify, if we were confused to what he said. <br />MR. DEAN: I am rising in opposition. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: I am still confused. Okay, thank you. Our next testifier is Tim Rees, <br />commenting on Communication 57, which was the request to call this special meeting; and <br />he is representing himself. <br />TIM REES <br />(At this time Tim Rees came forward to address members of the Commission.) <br />MR. REES: Aloha Commission members. I am going to plead a little bit of ignorance here, <br />and I am guilty of responding because of the media, and of course, I have no clue right now <br />how accurate some of their quotes are, how in depth they went on edit bites and such. But, I <br />am going to say this; I really urge caution to this Commission because of the way that this <br />has all been brought forward. I have got to tell you, from the media, it looks real suspicious. <br />7 <br />
