Council Testimony
Subject:
Oppose nomination of Wesley Segawa.
Aloha members of the County Council,
I strongly oppose the nomination of Wesley Segawa as Director of the Department of Environment Management ( DEM)
Segawa has a pst felony for a money laundering conviction and violations of campaign finance laws in 2004, in which he
pleaded no contest to laundering over $60,000 in illegal complain donations!
His engineering firm, Wesley R. Segawa and Associates was fined $53,500 for illegal contributions. This is NOT a man we
want in ANY position for the County!
Mr. Segawa's record conflicts of interests and raise significant concerns that he has a business, which holds a $4 million
contract with the County.
In addition, Segawa's resignation as chairman of Public housing agency under allegation of MISMANAGEMENT makes
him, in my understanding, NOT suitable for another government position.
LET THE CORRUPTION END!
Let start appointing people who have the Hawaii in their heart and are pono in their role in government.
Mr. Segawa is NOT that person!
1 urge you to reject this notion and demand better for the people of Hawai'i County.
Marianna, Kovalev
