' ` rr* •J a <br /> 1 <br /> '1;;;;;V <br /> — December 15, 1978 <br /> Charter Review Commission <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Commissioners: <br /> Congratulations! We are hoping that the commissioners shall be <br /> innovative and creative in their review and recommendation of <br /> the County Charter, that which shall reflect a keen insight into <br /> the future of this county© We hope and pray, therefore, that <br /> every effort should be made to retain the finest minds to in, <br /> sure the best possible outcome. <br /> There is oneparticular item that I would personally ask the <br /> commissioners to examine, viz. , that which has to do with the <br /> presentsystemof electing council members by districts. It <br /> seems to me (as it does with others with whom I have spoken) <br /> that the present system is grossly unfair and perhaps operating <br /> without constitutional blessing„ I make reference to the °one-. <br /> man, one-vote° application. Somehow or other the commissioners <br /> must find the means whereby a more equitable way of selecting <br /> council members can be devised9 even to the point of reapportion- <br /> ment; New political lines could be drawn not too much unlike 1 <br /> that which governs the selection of people to the State House of <br /> Representatives. <br /> Thank you for your consideration on the foregoing • sue. <br /> Since ly, I' <br /> Ar// / <br /> L- /I/ <br /> my .
