Aaron Stene via Margaret Wille:Council musical chairs

http://thekonablog.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/hawaii-county-council-going-to-attempt-to-restore-council-committee-chair-changes/
Margaret Wille alerted me today that the Hawaii County Council is goingto try to restore the June 16 council chair changes that were allegedlytainted by a Sunshine law violation at their August 5th county councilhearing in Hilo. (Resolution 218-09)
It appears this is political maneuvering is perfectly legal. The TROgranted by Judge Ibarra allows the council to reorganize but blocks anyfurther legislative action between August 5-15,2009.However I hope thecouncil rejects this do over. The public testimony was largely againstthe council reorganizing during the first go around. I would bet thathasn’t changed one bit since June 16.
