2015-05-13 Regular Session Minutes Board of Ethics

Home

up and brought a whole bunch of people to stand up to the fire chief. The police begged them to not cut down the three(3)beautiful monkey pod trees in the park. The only shade that's left in the center of the town. What was the big deal about this? They wanted to put a fence right through where the trees were. You know how we resolved it. Finally after all this nonsense,the fence went this way around the tree. We have no access to decision making. Things are a mess on our little tiny local levels where we live because we are systematically held back from saying anything or getting anything done to our needs. We get promises and I'm not saying Billy didn't do some great things. Billy you did some great stuff. Okay, but you also a bad boy. You promised,you promised me personally, I think it was recorded somewhere that we were gonna get a computer hotspot at the senior center in the park. What did we get? We got dinky do dial-up and it never worked. I had to call Jason Armstrong all the time and I hate talking to Jason. Jason does this kindergarten thing with me where he makes me start all the way back at the beginning and go through every little hoop until I forty-five(45) minutes later I can get to the place where I can say what it is called to say. I am sick and(expletive)tired of this. Excuse me. We'll delete that. It's just ridiculous. It is unethical and it is impossible. I would like to request that all the senior stuff be taken out of parks and recreation and given to the department of aging. I don't know who this new guy is that's the head of department of aging. There are five(5)decades of seniors and we need a little bit of service. We can't keep coming to Hilo. Why couldn't we testify from Pahoa today?Why did we have to drive in? We were told no. You have to drive in. This is all expensive and these promises. Clayton promised me and you know thousands of donations were stolen fbr the senior center and thrown away because some idiot woman whose name I can't remember at the moment is the head of the senior centers of all of this island. This is not for vegetative seniors. We have advanced degrees. We want to be able to have key, go in there and have our activities. Stop. Get your foot off my neck. Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. Ms. Hazel: Get your foot off my neck and serve us. Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you. 14)Rachelle Moore(Hilo)signed up to testify on agenda item 4c,Petition No. 2015-03. Ms. Moore: Hi. My name is Rachelle Moore. I'm from Waikoloa. I don't have a speech or anything. This is my attempt to speak to you right through my heart. I'm addressing Petition 2015-03. Sometimes I feel like I'm Alice in Wonderland. I've fallen thru hole and I'm running after politicians who have their hats upside down and are bigger than their supposed to
