brought this up which concerns Mr. Kanuha. We did a <br /> little bit of research because we couldn't figure out why in <br /> world when the evidence is clearly there cause they didn't <br /> do it once, they did it twice and they said it was a mistake. <br /> That doesn't make any sense and I've just noticed...I mean <br /> the big island has a Mayor that's under indictment. The <br /> political scene here on the big island is to say the least kind <br /> of frightening because we see...it creates this environment <br /> where it's okay people think that they can get away with <br /> things in that gray area. As the Ethics Board, I would <br /> expect more of a look at because what was provided was <br /> pretty clear and yet it was still voted against. That to me <br /> didn't make sense. So after we did a little bit of research <br /> and we found that both people, both members of the Board <br /> that voted against or voted down have more of a personal <br /> relationship with Mr. Kanuha. We figured, I figured and <br /> after speaking with some people that is a conflict of interest <br /> in my opinion. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: So if the two people would've voted for it, wouldn't have <br /> been an issue? <br /> Mr. Anderson: Well in my opinion, the evidence was pretty clear and it <br /> was dismissed. It wasn't even really...didn't seem like it <br /> was even a consideration. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Yeah, but that does not answer the question. <br /> Mr. Anderson: What was the question? <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Would you have pursued any of this if your petition was <br /> not dismissed? <br /> Mr. Anderson: No. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Okay. Thank you. Sir do you have anything to say to this <br /> specific petition? <br /> Mr. Revell: Yeah. You all know me. I've been here. Thank you for <br /> seeing us this morning, waking up early, being here and <br /> driving across the island. And to Drew too for being here. <br /> I don't know the fifth time or whatever we were here. You <br /> know I'm just...as a citizen...I'm very concerned about the <br /> ethics of the Ethics Board. When I mean...I research <br /> everything and I just find it a big conflict of interest for Mr. <br /> Goodenow to have his wife in Council Services and not <br /> 29 <br />
