YCNA lEAGUE OF REPUBLICAN WOVEN <br /> P.O. BOX 3134 KAILUAKONA, HAWAII 96740 <br /> JULY , 5, 1979 <br /> To ?sir. Kimiaki Sakata, Chairman <br /> Hawaii County Charter Commission <br /> Hilo, Hawaii . <br /> The Kona League of Republican Women strongly protests the <br /> recent action of the County Charter Commission which would give <br /> Hilo a 4 member majority on a 7 member council , i eduging Kona and <br /> South Kohala to only 1 council member, as well as delaying until <br /> 1983 the reapportionment based on the 1980 census although the <br /> federal law mandates making this reapportionment by April 1 , 1981 . <br /> Further, the Commission proposes to have a special election in <br /> November 1979 at a cost of at least $100, 000 to ,approve this proposal. <br /> The Kona League of Republican Women believes that this is <br /> a patently unfair decision, involving great expense to the taxpayers. <br /> If the plan to have a 9 member council is not to be implemented , <br /> then we urge that no election be held and no change at all in the <br /> make up of the Hawaii County Council be made until the mandated <br /> reapportionment by April 1 , 1981 . <br /> In protest therefore we sign this letter.• �j <br /> "" ` Re-kx <br /> , Marie B.
