It does seem strange that Emily seems to be getting advice from her "new friend" Bill Walter of Shipman and Stacy Higa and not her own constituency. As one who attended the Planning Committee meeting last night it looked like she was trying her best to kill the PCDP and doesn't grasp the issues at stake. It's sad to see our own council person disregarding her constituents testimony so completely and putting two years of community work and input at risk. Some of her amendments may indeed be harmless or useful but the way they were presented without input or review compromised the integrity of the process. Even more disturbing are planning director Chris Yeun's proposed amendments which gut the PCDP and hand Puna to W. H. Shipman on a plate.
