Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. Mr. Cole: I hope you do the right thing. I've got plenty of time and not tired not bored.

I would like to thank you for first for your time. I know that these things are very time consuming. There been a lot of details presented and you have a lot details in front of you. I don't want to belabor points that have already been gone over. So just let me say, I came here from the other side of the island because I just want to let you know that I am as are everybody I know completely disgusted. This is to C and to some extent B. Disgusted with our Mayor behavior. I'm embarrassed for this wonderful island where I've chosen to live that I love so much. I'm embarrassed for us and I'm personally enraged that my tax dollars. I'm a little old lady and I don't have a lot of money. My tax dollars are used not only property owners but renters to. Everybody pays.Are treated so cavalierly. Whether or not you use the card and pay it back doesn't matter. It's not right. I believe it was known that it wasn't right. I believe much of our Mayor's behavior is not right. I do understand that he's done some nice things. I don't think he's all bad,but I wish that we just put my County and just out of its misery and him to just resign. If not, I will be looking that petition to remove him. Thank you very much for your time. Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. 11) Wil Houts(Kohala)signed up to testify on agenda item 4c,Petition No. 2015-03. Mr. Houts; Wil Houts. I appreciate this opportunity.

I can only imagine the stress Ms. Crawford and Ms. Sako and others must of felt when they determined they were serving with someone who is making their jobs more difficult and embarrassing. Embarrassing to the people of Hawai`i. I understand Ms. Crawford tried to draw attention to this issue with Billy Kenoi. I can only imagine Billy Kenoi wouldn't listen to a woman cause he didn't. She decided to resign. A ripple effect. I remind you like attracts like. We can have a better place here. Choose a normal type of (inaudible)integrity which is doing right when no one is
