<br />MR. DILL: --Can you answer the question? <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: --Are you denying this? Because I will put you— <br /> <br />MR. DILL: --All right, look— <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: --Are you denying this? <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Look, I’m going to cut you off now, all right— <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: --Are you— <br /> <br />MR. DILL: --From here on, this point— <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: --denying this, Mr. Dill? <br /> <br />MR. DILL: From this point—yes, I’m denying it. <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: Oh, then you’re going to be in more ethical trouble than anyone else <br />that ever comes before the ethics commission. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Mr. Yagong, may I point you to Section 1.5 of the Rules of Procedure <br />of this body? It says that if you feel that anybody on this body may be biased or <br />prejudiced against you in any manner, that you can file an affidavit stating so and we <br />would take that up. All right? <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: So would you rule on that, Ms.—deputy? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: No, I don’t rule on it. The Board rules on it. So Judge Henricks has <br />cited the proper provision. It’s 1.15. <br /> <br />MR. YAGONG: Let’s make it just for the record, then. I would ask that Mr. Dill be <br />recused from dealing with this issue, because I believe that there’s a tremendous conflict <br />on his part. <br /> <br />(Jamae Kawauchi, the Hawai‘i County Clerk, moved up to the front table and sat next to <br />Mr. Yagong.) <br /> <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Chairman Dill, Jamae Kawauchi, Hawai‘i County Clerk. I would <br />also like to make a disclosure concerning a possible conflict of interest on behalf of the <br />chairperson, John Dill, of this ethics commission. In July of this year, you requested that <br />I be removed from my office and that our office be shut down and placed into the—under <br />the control of the State Attorney General’s Office or the U.S. Attorney General’s Office. <br />So the question that I have is, if you’re going to ask Mr. Yagong about his operational <br />relationship to the Elections Office, what is your operational relationship? Because that <br />was not a matter that was brought before this commission. It was done personally by <br />you— <br /> <br /> <br />
