Aloha e James,
"E kala mai ia'u" (please excuse the misunderstanding) if the questions that I raised were perceived as attacks. The intent was meant to get clarification. You being a strong supporter of your councilwoman, I am sure that you would want her to explain why she voted against Bill 276.
I have read the proposed Bill 276 and talked with Councilwoman Brenda Ford who authored the Bill and everything points to Puna gaining a 2nd seat on the council. In raising the questions that are in question.....the intent was to find out from Councilwoman Naeole, what was behind her decision to vote against the redistricting that would have been a huge positive step forward for Puna.
It was not meant as an attack....just getting some clarification for Councilwoman Naeole.
Bob...yes this would be a citizen initiative. The Council can no longer take up this issue in the same session so we the citizens need to get enough signatures in time to get it on the ballot....I've been told that we don't have enough time....but one never knows unless we try....
Malama aina,
Kale
