Nearly everyone I told about the Tues. in Hilo rescheduling was totally <br /> clueless. <br /> Was there any genuine attempt to inform the public? The only official notification I received <br /> was from you! Thank you. <br /> Monday there was a notice in the classifieds, far too late for anyone to plan to take off work to <br /> videoconference. Due to earthquake issues and Ironman, it was very difficult to contact people <br /> this <br /> week-end to tell them about the hearing. For many people I knew who were concerned I had <br /> only an address. There was no time to mail out information to them. There did not seem to be <br /> any noticeable media coverage they might have seen. Honestly, I don't think this would be <br /> considered adequate in a legal sense in most counties. What is going on exactly?Is this the <br /> normal way the Council schedules "Public Hearings"? <br /> People were very upset. And worse, some sceptical. I was asked repeatedly if e-mailed <br /> testimony would just be deleted. There is a huge lack of faith and trust out there. <br /> So now I ask you- will they fairly record and report faxes and a-mails sent to council <br /> testimony? <br /> Will it be mentioned at the hearing? It is about the only way left for those that did hear about <br /> the hearing to participate. Will it even matter? <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dore Dokos-Loewenthal <br /> Captain Cook, Hi. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Netscape. Just the Net You Need. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Netscape.
