~l'o the l~ditor:
Alter attending the recent council meeting in Rona I was beginning tI~
Icel there was a rig of hope tur our Lslruul polities Council members from
outside of Kona wore listening with intcrast ~~~hen ~e 1•oiced our concerns
m~cr the 30 million dollar bond issue and chat w~e needed for Wcst fia~~~aii_
Councilman Yagong even sought a ua}~ t~ tr. and sane the 10 million to
el~~se flit. (lilo landfill and a milh~>u a ~~car for flit rest of our li~~cs truckin;
1 Aii Ions of refuse a day across the island
Rasidents w~cre told n~It kI get disc~uragcd o~~er the lack of support
from past crnmcils and not to give up roicinc, their concerns.
The Council e~~cn rcccntl~~ rejcctuj former Planning Commission
Chairman Kev~ui Bah~g for s Seat un flit Ph~nning Appeals Board tiling
conflict of interest and expressing the need Ji~r new faces instead of just
shuttling around flit same people- I am hopiu~ that Yamashiro v,~ill ha~~e lu
nominate someone ou(sidc his circle of liicnds to ¢ain Council approval.
Just as hope leas on the h~~rtc~~n. flit Council i5 in the process oh
appio~~ing a Charlcr C:onunission. lion ~~~hat else. a list of flit Ma~~ors
appomlccs. Key in Fialog. (again) ahmg ilh Ms l lerkes taps flit list of
people that our Well Hawaii Council members don't want.
Sc~~eral appointees were ~~oted in unanimously, lhc}~ earned the
contidcuce of flit 4~holc Council Thal confidence nuts( be the sama
deciding taet~~r for the remaining aphointrev u,leh because as Curtis ~h~~ler
notch, no one fr~.nn North Fauna ~~as nomin~itcd. Thal is not surprising, due
the tact that unless it is mandated that a resident of West Hal~aii be
appointed t~~ am~ of the boards. the Ma~oi wU continue to pick only those
Iti~ho will be in a position to help him ~~.-lien he lea~~cs office- The Manor is a
Mme duc}~. he I:no~~~s here the votes came from (or didn't j and he doesn't
need to he anuerncd about Wesl Ita«uii support an~~more.
The Charlcr Commission ~~~ill be ret~a~ming the counh~ go~~ennucnt tier
the nc~t ten scars- Thal is just too luug to feel that w~e lta~~c again been Ic[1
out of this political process. Kona mint ha~c a credible represenlati~ e on this
L~munissrnn.
