times over ten to call Mr. Kanuha's office. Never got a call back. <br /> I emailed him numerous times. Never got a response at all. He <br /> wasn't acting in good faith during this whole period and we <br /> were wondering why. The fact that he ends up accepting gifts and <br /> a trip from the people that he was representing really bothers me. <br /> He was...this is tough. I don't like to be here accusing anybody of <br /> anything,but this was not good faith. He wasn't acting on our <br /> part. The quote that I read out of the paper said that he was... <br /> There was an outcry from his constituents. If there was an outcry <br /> from his constituents, where were they when testimony were came <br /> up? They were outnumbered, it was outnumbered twenty-five to <br /> one opposed to these bills. Yet there was an outcry from his <br /> constituents. Where was the outcry? This bill wasn't written <br /> ahead of time, this bill was written after the trip. He took a trip, <br /> there's something else going on here I'm not sure, I'm not gonna <br /> speculate on why you would do something like this. I'm sure it <br /> was for something in the future. That's all I really have to say. <br /> This was... we never even got to talk to him. There was no equal <br /> time for anybody. It was really disheartening, this whole situation. <br /> We had a lot of young people that came in that actually stepped up <br /> for this and they had their completely dishearten with the political <br /> system because of this one single issue. That's really all I have to <br /> say on this. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. <br /> Mr. Michael: Thank you. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Do we have any testimony from Waimea? <br /> 2) Alex Achmat(Waimea) signed up to testify on agenda items 4a, Petition No. <br /> 2015-11 and 4d, Petition No. 2015-13. <br /> Mr. Hirt: Good morning, we currently have one testifier. Mr. Alex Achmat <br /> from Hawi representing himself. Speaking on agenda items 2015- <br /> 11 and 2015-13. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you. Go ahead. <br /> Mr. Achmat: Hi good morning. Is this on? Good morning. My name is Alex <br /> Achmat and I live in Hawi. I came this morning, this will be I <br /> think my fourth or fifth ethics committee meeting that I've <br /> attended. I attended them primarily because I am a friend and <br /> neighbor of Ric Hyland and I wanted to hear in full his ethic, his <br /> ethics petition regarding the Mayor's P-card misuse and Ms. <br /> Sako's involvement in abetting that misuse. And to date, after <br /> 2 <br />
