items as dating and escort services, good and services for personal <br /> use and for liquor unless specifically authorized. The record <br /> irrefutable reflects that the Mayor purchased liquor at two <br /> Honolulu hostess bars. These were not budgeted items. This <br /> matter reaches far beyond the Mayor's behavior. The call is being <br /> made for this Board to take action today so that it is clear that the <br /> County of Hawai`i takes swift action to censor violations and <br /> makes it clear that no one is above the law, including the Mayor. I <br /> conclude this morning with the words of U.S. Supreme Court <br /> Justice Lewis Brandeis in his June 4, 1928 decision in the case <br /> Halstead v US and these are the Justice's words. Decency, <br /> security and liberty alike demand that government officials be <br /> subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the <br /> citizen in a government of laws. Existence of the government will <br /> be in peril if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our <br /> government is the potent, omnipresent teacher for good or for ill. <br /> It teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contiguous if <br /> the government becomes a law breaker. It breeds contempt for <br /> law, invites every man to become a law onto himself. It invites <br /> anarchy. Thank you. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Thank you. Are there anymore testifiers? Apparently, there is one <br /> more testifier in Hilo. <br /> 5) Joy Cash (Hilo) signed up to testify on agenda item 5a,Petition No. 2015-03. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Alright coming forward to testify is Joy Cash speaking on item? <br /> Ms. Cash: The agenda. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: On the agenda? <br /> Ms. Cash: Yes. I'll try to keep it brief. My thoughts are very brief on this. <br /> I'm Joy Cash and a resident of Hilo. I find...my understanding is <br /> that Billy Kenoi is a criminal attorney and as such he should fully <br /> understand the law. In addition to that, I heard that Harry Kim, his <br /> previous employer made it abundantly clear to Mr. Kenoi that <br /> this...the pCard were only for public use not private use. In <br /> addition to this, I find it very egregious and I'm not a religious <br /> person I want to make that abundantly clear. But I find it <br /> egregious that our elected civil servant would use our tax payer <br /> dollars to support the sex trade in Honolulu. I find that very <br /> egregious...I really do. So I think that Mr. Kenoi has some <br /> consequences to face as we all do as adults. My actions, I have <br /> consequences either call for, wanted or I don't like them and that's <br /> the way I learn. That's the way I learn to correct my behavior in <br /> 6 <br />
