0 OF-4, <br /> 4.4V 41" *; <br /> MUNEO SAMESHI,MA <br /> Council Member OF... <br /> COUNTY COUNCIL s" <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> Hawaii County Building <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> October 19 , 1979 <br /> Mr. Kimiaki Sakata, Chairman <br /> Charter Review Commission <br /> Hawaii County <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> It is with great concern that I_ have to write this letter to warn <br /> the Charter Commission about its ongoing publicity campaign <br /> endorsing the proposed amendments which have not yet been approved <br /> by the voters and to say the least are very controversial. <br /> The Commission can only attempt to educate the public and not . <br /> take positions . I plan personally to purchase advertisement with <br /> my own funds to state my positions and recommendations and do <br /> not believe it is fair or legal for the Commission to use taxpayers <br /> monies other than to educate the people., Endorsing specific <br /> amendments by the Commission is illegal. <br /> It may be worth your while to check the fluoridation referendum <br /> whereby the County Council at that time was barred from campaign- <br /> ing for the sustaining of the fluoridation ordinance which they <br /> supported using public funds. <br /> Please note that I am in the process , of appealing to the courts <br /> the reapportionment proposed as it will dilute West Hawaii ' s <br /> representation on the Council. <br /> Due to these circumstances , I strongly recommend that the election <br /> be postponed until suchtime as these problems are resolved. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> H <br /> //keele_e_a <br /> • <br /> Muneo SameshimaVCOUNCILMAN • O,�,�s'� <br /> TO; ATC: <br /> • <br />
