MR. DILL: Yes. <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: Yes, it would. <br /> <br />MS. KING: So today is an informal meeting? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: Today is—you could characterize today as an informal hearing, yes. The <br />difference between an informal and a formal hearing is that the formal hearing is <br />conducted pursuant to HRS Chapter 91. It’s a contested case proceeding, so it’s a little <br />bit more adversarial or adjudicatory in nature versus informal. So what I hear actually <br />the Board is doing is—are you continuing this initial review to gather more information? <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Yes. Yes, I think we need more information to make a sound decision. <br /> <br />MS. KING: Well, thank you. I hope you will discuss this publicly, though, in another <br />meeting— <br /> <br />MR. DILL: --Yeah, it will be in public— <br /> <br />MS. KING: --and I hope you will consider making your own precedent rather than <br />relying on a decision made by the state that most people found to be unethical. Thank <br />you. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Thank you, Ms. King. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Wait one minute. <br /> <br />MS. KING: Yes, Mr. Henricks. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Before I vote I’d like to ask you, since you’re the petitioner— <br /> <br />MS. KING: --Certainly— <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: --who you consider to be the wrongdoer? <br /> <br />MS. KING: You know, that’s a good question. I’ve thought about that. I think both <br />parties are at fault. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: No, not both parties. Who? I need to have someone before me— <br /> <br />MS. KING: --Okay, the county is at fault for releasing workers to attend a meeting at <br />which campaigning took place, knowingly or unknowingly. They need to investigate this <br />and keep it from happening again. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: The whole county? You’re saying the whole county is a respondent in <br />your case? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
