Subject: Resolution 218-09 Testimony
Importance: ighm m. 4b5
Aloha,
I'm utterly disgusted that the council will be doing a do over of the June 16, 2009
committee reorganization. The public testimony was 100% against the council taking this
action at that time. However the council ignored the wishes of the public and went ahead
with it.
The latter has created a firestorm of angry residents island wide who are disgusted with
the council's recent actions. It has also raised from the dead calls to split Hawaii
County into two counties. This is absolutely bad news for the future of this island
The Big Island is smack dab in the middle of the Pacific thousands of miles from the
mainland. Thus we need to work together instead of working against each other. If this
reorganization goes forward it will take this island one step closer to splitting apart.

P.S- It is my understanding the Hawaii County Council Rules section 15.6 prevents council
members from reintroducing any similar failed resolutions or legislation until the next
legislative term. I believe Resolution 218-09 steps on this slippery slope.
