Aloha — I'm Patti Cook from Waimea. I ask the GOEA Committee to immediately
approve this resolution as drafted and move it forward for consideration by the
Hawaii County Council of the whole as quickly as possible.
As the reso states: recent national and local events targeting immigrants have
underscored the importance of reaffirming the County' s commitment to upholding
these constitutional rights for all residents, and remaining dedicated to the fair and
impartial enforcement of laws, protecting individuals from government overreach
or discriminatory practices in any form, and maintaining public trust.
This resolution serves a valuable, timely public purpose of helping to inform and
remind us all of our extremely valuable collective rights and that these are not
ordinary times — we must do everything possible to protect these rights for all of
the people of Hawaii Island.
Mahalo for your commitment to upholding your oath of office and doing what's
best for Hawaii Island.
A hui hou — Patti Cook
