MRS. KOBAYASHI : What if we just worked on the other ballot questions. Would that help you any? MR. ODA: Right. If the motion can be deferred as to the provision regarding Section 3-2 and if the commission in inclined to approve the rest then we can finish it up. . . MR. TRULSON: I ' ll amend my motion to defer Section 3-2. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Bud, is your motion to defer? MR. TRULSON: Section 3-2 of the ballot. MRS. KOBAYASHI : Second. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: All right. Discussion on the ballot will continue. MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. Would it help any if this commission took a position to say that the intent of the propositions, any propositions on the ballot, help-®of how the ballot vote. . . MR. ODA: Well , the intent of the commission is always very important intimes of ambiguity or in case there is a court challenge on it. So, I would have no ,objection to something like that. I think intent is good. Something on the record that people can refer to. MR. OMONAKA: Would it help any if we developed this intent first before you go to the Ltd Governor, or wait until we have an opinion? MR. ODA: Oh, no, as I say, I 'm not trying to stifle discussion. MR. OMONAKA: I understand that but would it help any if we take a position now prior to your going to the Lt. Governor or after? MR. ODA: Oh, no, that ' s okay. No problem. MR. ISHIDA: But does it make any difference for you? If it doesn ' t make any difference whether we take a position then I don ' t think it would make any difference. MR. ODA: The position would go toward intent and at least the discussion leading up to it would go toward intent. I could make the specific question, refer the specific question to the Lt® Governor, that office, and if they say, that ' s not and we can 't do that, then. . . . MR. TRULSON : Perhaps if they know our intent, if it can ' t be done this way they will have an answer on how it can be done to accompany our intent. MR. ODA: I don ' t think it would hurt. -35-
