After just listening the other night for a change, at the public hearing, we <br /> do have some comments. <br /> What we all experienced when a question was asked of Gary Kyota and he made it sound <br /> like he was the attorney for any big resort with a golf course, was most alarming. We <br /> wanted you to know that we were as appalled as you were when our Real Property Tax <br /> Administrator is making excuses, in a public hearing, for mega-resorts. <br /> This is exactly why we have made a commitment to hold government accountable. <br /> Also, the fact that a question was asked that only Mr. Kyota could answer and we observed <br /> the attention of everyone in that room turned to him in the audience and unlike the way you <br /> protected Mr. Ashida when I asked a question that only he could answer, you allowed the <br /> democratic process to continue with Mr. Kyota, which seemed like a double standard to us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ch~i•~twie. i~acLL <br /> Th~vn~Rw~bi~ <br /> P.O.
