Ms. Martinez: We have to look for that. <br /> Ms. Sweeney: I believe its twenty-fifteen three. <br /> Ms. Martinez: Twenty-fifteen three. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you and your name please. <br /> I) Karen Martinez (Kohala) signed up to testify on agenda item Sa, Petition No. 2015-03. <br /> Ms. Martinez: Karen Martinez. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright. Go ahead Ms. Martinez. <br /> Ms. Martinez: Good morning to everyone whose there. I'm enjoying this very <br /> much because it's a process near and dear to my heart. There are <br /> two relationships that are institution on this planet and we are privy <br /> to both. One is we just have one on one with each other and the <br /> second one is that we're involved in this delicate balance of <br /> democracy. It came about because people abused power. In a <br /> relationship, let's say a marriage...once somebody doesn't do what <br /> he supposed to and distressed and squirmed...it's really hard <br /> to...sometimes impossible to regain that trust. And then <br /> democracy is requires all of us to honor it and respect it and trust <br /> it. Trust the people that we put in positions to represent us and of <br /> course this commission now...we don't trust you. We want to, but <br /> we don't.

You folks are the deciding factor in County government <br /> because we come to you when there's a problem when trust has <br /> been broken. And it's time to restore that trust...Mr. Goodenow <br /> you have broken our trust and we know it...and it's wrong and you <br /> have to live with that. And if you are a man of conscience and I <br /> hope every member on this Commission is an individual of <br /> conscience. You have to live...we all have to live with what we do <br /> and what we don't do. You contaminated this Commission <br /> now...we cannot trust you...there's no way every to trust <br /> you...you need to rectify that...you need to give this Commission <br /> a chance to do what we expect it to do as voters, as residents on the <br /> Big Island. We need to have a group of people that we can turn to <br /> and say hey...straighten this out, we trust you, please do your job. <br /> I think there are enough people who...on the Board who can do <br /> that and I hope you do do it. Mr. Goodenow needs to recuse <br /> himself from any voting that has to do with the Mayor. We know <br /> 2 <br />
