MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Tamashiro, if we can just <br /> get across the intent of a particular section, would that be <br /> satisfactory? <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: I would think so, yes. Then <br /> have good supporting text in either brochure form or a <br /> supplement newspaper form and have it available to the voters <br /> early and also have it at the polls. I would :think that is <br /> reasonable. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: When it comes to the setting up <br /> of ballots, say, for instance, with these different word <br /> corrections, the housekeeping ones. . .if they were written out <br /> and made available so that every voter could go over and see <br /> the different housekeeping items. . .would it be possible then <br /> to go into the ballot with no housekeeping question. . . <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: Right. You could probably cite <br /> it in one or two questions. Rather than taking each amendment <br /> section and presenting it as a question to the voter. As I <br /> said, if you sit and have your attorney play with this and <br /> look at the wording, he may be able to and you can, I think, <br /> from the samples of prior charter amendments from the other <br /> counties. . .looking at the question and the text, you can see <br /> what they have accomplished. <br /> MR. ODA: Can we put on the end, if you have <br /> any questions with regard to the above, call Geoge Tamashiro <br /> of the Lieutenant Governor' s office. <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: Well , it is past 4: 30 so I <br /> would now be unofficially. . . <br /> MR. ODA: I am just kidding. <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: You can see by the city. . .I <br /> have a sample of that ballot. There is a brochure there. . . <br /> eight charter questions. You can see that ballot stuff was <br /> one ballot, yet the brochure has a lot of things. <br /> MR. ODA: That was all on one ballot. <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: Maybe I am wrong, maybe it was <br /> two. I thoughtit was one. Eight questions on that one <br /> ballot. That is where the trick comes, to be able to. <br /> MR. ODA: I think we should have had you come <br /> and talk to us in the beginning. <br /> MR. TAMASHIRO: Well, I suggested that. When <br /> I get back I will try to find more supporting type publications <br /> and see if I can forward it to you. <br /> MR. ODA: George, so far as wording of the <br /> various items to go into the ballot, that is the responsibility <br /> of this commission? <br /> -17- <br />
