something to do is to ignore the phone calls or especially with their <br /> repeated phone calls of his constituents. At this point and time <br /> he's willing to meet with you and to hear your side of the story <br /> which I think is really you wanted to be heard. <br /> Mr. Revell: Can I make a comment? <br /> Mr. Balsis: Yes. Please do. <br /> Mr. Revell: With respect to Mr. Kanuha I accept his apology. My whole point <br /> of you know not only wanting to be heard in filing this petition is a <br /> fact that legislation has been passed illegally that affected my <br /> business. I wasn't able to get in touch with Mr. Kanuha or the <br /> powers that be to express my concerns. I wasn't treated fairly and <br /> its four months is not an appropriate amount of time. I respect <br /> your opinion Mr. Adams, but to me if someone who is self- <br /> employed and relies on my public officers to protect then legislate. <br /> The laws that are pertain are to protecting us as the people. It is a <br /> big concern and when someone is, if I was a boss of a company <br /> and I had a worker that I asked to call me back. Call me back I got <br /> something to talk to you about. He didn't call me back. Okay. <br /> Tell the manager of that worker say, hey I talked to so and so, tell <br /> him to call me back, that person calls in so and so the boss called <br /> you. Can you call him back? If you don't call that person back, <br /> we have problems. It's the fact of the matter is I wasn't offered <br /> any common courtesy. In December, Mr. Maeda called me and <br /> said he spoke to Mr. Kanuha. Great. He said he'll call you back. <br /> He's on vacation. It's March. The laws are the laws they passed <br /> and whatever it is what it is, but my problem is that I wasn't able to <br /> protect my business, to protect my customers and protect my <br /> employees. I wasn't able to give my side of the story and that's all <br /> I asked at the beginning. Now the fact of the matter is the laws are <br /> passed and damage has been done. What's gonna happen now? <br /> That's the only comment I have and thanks for hearing that. <br /> Mr. Adams: To your comment. Just to make sure that we're clear here. We <br /> have no jurisdiction as a Board of Ethics over the bills that are <br /> passed by the Council. You understand we can't address that <br /> element of your petition. Okay. Thanks. <br /> Mr. Kanuha: Thank you. I just wanted to mention I did apologize for not getting <br /> back, but you know the beauty of submitting legislation as a <br /> Council we have we give a lot of opportunity for the community to <br /> come in and testify on all of our bills. This particular bill was <br /> heard on over two months. I think four hearings public hearings <br />
