West Hawaii Today - Local > Council may cut Kona sessions
Council may cut Kona Sessions!
I just read that Donald Ikeda wants to bring forward resolution #267 to cut the West Hawaii County Counsel meetings. Can you believe this? When I drove to Hilo to testify to have equal meetings, it was Donald Ikeda that was hiding in a side room during testimony. This really shows the true colors of this councilman. We have fought very hard for equal meetings.
Why are the meeting s not being held in the big pavilion at the Old Airport?
Why would it be any different in Hilo or Kona? If it is too expensive perhaps the council members can forgo their HUGE 22% raise for themselves.
I would like to remind the good people of the Island of Hawaii that the following districts provide the Lion’s share of the revenues for this entire island. Source: Hawaii County Dept. of finance data book page 9.12.
District #1 Puna $3,670.725.50
District #2 South Hilo $3,990,672.30
District #3 North Hilo $192,253.60
District #4 Hamakua $424,724.40
District #5 North Kohala $863,959.40
District #6 South Kohala $5,830,808.60
District #7 North Kona $10,029,269.40
District #8 South Kona $1,089,863.30
District #9 Kau $795,035.30
I encourage everyone to write, testify, and speak up or forever hold your piece. This bill would undo what we have worked so hard for. Just like the 2% being thrown under the bus. This is the exact reason we need two Counties.
