say that or if it's important to separate that out from the petition, <br /> then you know we can do that as well. <br /> Mr. Balsis: In this particular instance, I would go along with Counsel and that <br /> we separated it out of the petition because in my opinion Mr. <br /> Kanuha did not have a responsibility to verify if the person was an <br /> actual lobbyist. So that part of the petition, later on I would move <br /> that it be dismissed. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay. <br /> Mr. Balsis: We do have investigatory powers and from that view point we <br /> would have a motion to take a look at the Coalition. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay. <br /> Mr. Balsis: In that case, I would like to modify and change motion as I may all <br /> together.

All those in favor? <br /> Mr. Balsis, Ms. Kahakalau and Mr. Adams (simultaneously): Aye. <br /> Mr. Balsis: Moving on with the petition itself, the aspect of Fair and Unfair <br /> Treatment is still there. Is there any discussion about that? <br /> Mr. Adams: Let me tackle this. As a Board member of this particular Board, I <br /> look at our legislators which was the Council members and give <br /> them some, probably more leeway then I would the administrator <br /> of the executive action/branch folks. When it comes this particular <br /> section, all person shall be treated with a courteous, fair and <br /> impartial manner that phrase. I do that because there is a direct <br />
