NOTICE
Dear Members of the Council & Finance Committee;
I am Patrick L. Kahawaiola'a, a native Hawaiian as defined under
the HHCA, 1920 as amended July 9, 1921, Pub. No 34, 42 c 42
Stat. 108 and a resident of Keaukaha, lands having the status of
Hawaiian Home lands.
I must vehemently obj~~~ to the actions taken by several
committee members on November 20, 2001, in which your actions
clearly violated the Hawaii county charter, the State/Federal
compact Article XII, ~1, ~2 and §3 and the oath taken at the
time of your election, wherein you swore are oath to uphold the
constitutions of Hawaii and the United States.
After having been made aware that the County of Hawaii does not
have the fundamental document in its possession, the consent of
the United States to "increase the encumbrances on lands having
the status of Hawaiian Home lands", your actions along with
other participants from the present administration of the County
of Hawaii, in its Mayor Kim, Finance Director William Takaba,
Corporation counsel and the DHHL, Ben Henderson, voted at the
committee level to continue the conspiracy of diverting the
"proceeds and income derived on Hawaiian Home lands", into the
county's general fund, through the county's real property tax
ordinances, rather than for the expressed purposes of the Act.
I hope you would reconsider your actions and be willing to
address and provide the consent of the United States and the
fundamental document that shows the title of these lands have
been conveyed to the county of Hawaii, for without it, you
continue to be in violation of your oath of office, as others
h been in the past.
