M. Kawasaki -6- <br /> districtsabovefive, feel , runs into the <br /> A number of I <br /> problem of not meeting the criterion of economy. <br /> Elected as they are from districts, the term of office of <br /> the District. Councilmen could be limited to 2 years , thereby <br /> giving the voters the opportunity to exercise the power of their <br /> ballot more often. The terms of the Councilmen running at-large <br /> could be left at 4 years as a trade-off to the cost of running <br /> at-large with half of the at-large Councilmen elected every 2 <br /> years. Thus , at any one election , a voter need vote for only <br /> three Councilmen at most. A good differentiation of candidates <br /> is possible. <br /> The rnrost important criterion for a County Charter proposal <br /> is the criterion ofacceptability. As representatives of the <br /> various districts throughout the County of Hawaii , I feel that <br /> the judgment :, ori this criterion is made by you as members of the <br /> County Charter Commission. I ask that you exercise that judgment <br /> on the basis of the important other criteria of effectiveness of <br /> the power of the votes of the people throughout the County, <br /> fajrness , and candidate differentiation. <br />
