Subject: NO on the nomination, Mr. Wesley Segawa! (STOP the Corruption!)
Aloha Members of the County Council,
I strongly oppose the nomination of Wesley Segawa as Director of the Department of Environmental
Management (DEM).
Segawa has a past 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 campaign
donations!
His engineering firm, Wesley R. Segawa and Associates was fined $53,500 for illegal contributions.
Mr. Segawa's record, preparedness, and conflicts of interest raise significant concerns that cannot
be ignored!
It would be a conflict of interest to have him in this position as he has a business, which holds a $4
million contract with the County.
PLUS, Segawa's resignation as chairman of the state public housing agency under allegations
of mismanagement and you want to put him in another position?!
Let the corruption end! Start appointing people who have Hawaii in their heart and are pono in their
role in government.
Mr. Segawa IS CLEARLY NOT that person!
I urge you to reject this nomination and demand better for the people of Hawaii County.
Mahalo,
