It seemed to me Emily introduced the bill primarily in response to family members' needs (her brother lives in a tent and squats on Nanawale Estate parcels that do not belong to him, according to the Nanawale Community Association manager who is charged with the responsibility of getting him off the lands!)

If the Bill was introduced to benefit her family personally, it's a violation of the Hawaii County Code of Ethics and possible a criminal violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes. But, all she can be held accountable for was not abstaining from the vote due to a conflict of interest. The Bill was not her Bill. It was Council member Ford's Bill. Talk about orchestration!
