ETHICS REFORM AT CITY HALL PROPOSAL
I have introduced Reso 11-327 that if passed, would place on the ballot for the 2012 election, a
YES or NO choice for the voters as to decide if council members should abstain from voting where a level of conflict of interest is present. Currently, all council members are able to vote on any measure regardless how much of a conflict of interest may be present.
WE SHOULD MAKE HAWAII A FREE TRADE ZONE TO STIMULATE AND PROMOTE ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND VIABILITY

FIGHT FOR WAIANAE SECONDARY ACCESS ROAD FUNDING
Residents in West Oahu are informed of road closures for APEC and told to take alternate routes. What alternate route? Please get your testimony in to counter the proposal initiated by the State Department of Transportation whereby they want to cease all funding endeavors to study a second access route for the Waianae Coast. For the DOT to give up on us after taxpayers along the Waianae Coast have provided Kailua residents with over four ways to evacuate is not pono. TESTIMONY DUE NOVEMBER 30. Please see documentation here.
