Aloha,
I’m utterly disgusted that the council will be doing a do over of the June 16, 2009 committee reorganization. The public testimony was 100% against the council taking this action at that time. However the council ignored the wishes of the public and went ahead with it.
The latter has created a firestorm of angry residents island wide who are disgusted with the council’s recent actions. It has also raised from the dead calls to split Hawaii County into two counties. This is absolutely bad news for the future of this island
The Big Island is smack dab in the middle of the Pacific thousands of miles from the mainland. Thus we need to work together instead of working against each other. If this reorganization goes forward it will take this island one step closer to splitting apart.

P.S- It is my understanding the Hawaii County Council Rules section 15.6 prevents council members from reintroducing any similar failed resolutions or legislation until the next legislative term. I believe Resolution 218-09 steps on this slippery slope.
