Aloha everyone --
Thursday, Nov. 14, was truly AMAZING!
The community showed up BIG to testify in support
of overriding the Mayor's veto.
Residents of west Kauai came out in force, and
shared powerful and compelling stories about the
need for protections in 2491 .
Broad-based voices, including a group letter signed
by westside fisherman voicing their concerns about
reefs and sealife; island-wide first responders
contacting Council Members as private citizens
about the need for disclosure to protect health and
safety; and long-time westside ohana speaking
about the need for respect for health and safety of
the keiki from the agro-chemical companies. 393. 996,Comm. No.

There was a feeling of unity both inside and outside
the Council chambers -- symbolized by the cutting
down of a barricade rope artificially placed between
the "sides" by police, after community members
from both "sides" objected to this false dividing
line!
Kauai's people are united!
We will not allow false walls between us.
NEWS UPDATE:
7TH COUNCIL MEMBER SELECTED!
KAUAI NOW HAS A FULL, COMPLETE COUNTY
COUNCIL
On Friday, Mason Chock, an experienced and
noted community leader, educator, and former
fireman was chosen as the 7th Council Member.
This vote was the conclusion of a selection process
that started after Nadine Nakamura announced her
planned departure as Council Member.
So now, we look forward to a vote with the full 7-
member Council on Saturday, November 16th.
Please come to witness this important
moment in Kauai history.
Kauai's People are Persistent
Pono Will Win.
