1 Right
Bradshaw recently bought a home in Ewa using unemployed union worker dues. As the AFL‐CIO Political director, he diverted financial help to unemployed union workers to fully fund his campaign instead.
The Gay lobby and Democrat Progressives endorsed Bradshaw for being for Gay Marriage and abortion but he is visiting Ewa Beach churches saying he is against Gay Marriage and abortion.
Bradshaw ran for the State House seat in Kailua only recently and just moved to Ewa Beach to unseat Rep. Kymberly Pine, the most vocal advocate for the people of Ewa Beach.
Left
Bradshaw has promised special interest groups that he will vote to raise taxes on food, gas, medicine and everything you buy and has signed a pledge to them in writing.
Bradshaw supports taking money from the Hurricane Relief Fund so he can pay raises to his friends at your expense.
Bradshaw will ignore the needs of your family and put the greed of special interests and his party first.

I'll do what I can. But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers, donors, inner circle. Many campaigns have volunteers and/or staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidate's agenda, while defending against attacks). At the risk of sounding preachy, you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post. The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes. I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20.
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers, donors and even FB defenders. Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer and/or donor. Look up their contact information if you don't have it. Grow that e-mail list, find them and turn them into FB friends, canvassers, donors, etc. The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message, but needs more boots on the ground and more money.
You know lots of people, Tom. Now that we live in the information age, we need to be able to reach them 24/7. Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted, direct mailed, called, and so on. We only have seven or eight weeks until election day.
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me!!! Check out my latest to counter his minions:
And Daphne- let's pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espro's bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in! I can't vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boar's district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in!!! Felons get better, more choice, and front door service- no lines, no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu- don't like the candidates of where you used to live? Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices. I on the other hand, as a law abiding citizen, do not get to chose a district...where I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Espero's scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homeless...pick a district of your choosing!! What a deal!!!

Good morning, Tom:
Got the two revisions, adding "Former" to Micah and Brennon.
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel), I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks,
To be on the safe side, in addition to the print-ready PDF's, I've also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu . . . just in case.
Here are the new files: www.studioryan.com/tom_berg/
By the way, nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday. I'd love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead.
I'll give you a call later so we can meet up re $$. Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today, now that a lot less people are running in Ewa. :-)

Tom, This week is do or die week for your campaign. You need to do things that you hate or you will loose. We will help you but you must do some work too.
I need this list from you today:
1. Leaders in Ewa Beach that we need to get endorsements for you. 2. List of people you know we should ask for money--ie the Dr. that played at your fundraiser last time. 3. List all people in your district we should ask for votes that you helped or people you have helped statewide.
I need contact #s/email and background (if available). I am trying to prove to the party today that your race is still viable. We are running out of time. Kym

State Rep. Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach, Iroquois Point, Puuloa), said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November.
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Apo’s term expires in 2012. She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House, where she faces Jason Bradshaw, the political director of the AFL-CIO.
“I’m not going to run for the City Council in the special election,” Pine said.

1. Eric Ryan: September 30th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election, Pine’s opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read “…for City Council.” Once elected, he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader.
2. R U Serious?: September 30th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
I’ve heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position.
3. charles: October 1st, 2010 at 1:54 am
Okay, if this is true, why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat?
Or why wouldn’t she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends, if elected, to serve the full term?
Oh, and Eric, I’m still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election.
4. Yoshi1940: October 1st, 2010 at 11:22 am
RU Serious, that rumor IS going around! Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level? Do you think that he can get elected? He would have to move into the district, because isn’t he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot? Isn’t William Aila, the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate, from the Waianae Coast? I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi, it would be risky.
5. Eric Ryan: October 1st, 2010 at 12:14 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign, as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms. Pine.
Now, Charles, why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received? His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jun/07/ln/hawaii806070357.html) so he dropped out of the race, just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (http://www.honolulu.gov/refs/nco/nb31/08/31junmin.htm) was a BUST (http://www.honolulu.gov/refs/nco/nb31/08/31sepmin.htm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced. His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (http://honoluluweekly.com/diary/2008/06/filling-tommys-shoes/). Your lack of appreciation for Bradshaw’s failed candidacy is, likewise, becoming very well established, much like everyone’s appreciation for Bradshaw’s soon-to- fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy.

I'm glad to hear your thoughts. I completely agree with your very last sentence, and totally agree about Tom's winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS & ID'ING VOTERS TOM!!) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing..
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a "deal" and will say ANYTHING to you and / or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants. And after what he has been doing, HOW do we not see that? I am asking you, please, do not support Bob McDermott. I've been loyal to you since the beginning, and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE.
Tom:
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN.
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values, you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY.
I can sum it up like this: You're going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign. Period. No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you don't believe, but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you don't currently believe IN.

From: Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan
Hey Tom. I understand the frustration. But, let's say that if you did raise $10-15K, you could do a major mailer. And that amount is not unheard of, when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races. Two mailers would be even better . . . the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in people's mailboxes that day).
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-let's pretend I sent this:
Rep- Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise money...that $$ guides you, not principal....Rep, I am your TEA PARTY candidate, period. I am your candidate. Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERS..they are against us...for you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that, or shun it. Your call. All is well. Tom

Tom:
You have my full endorsement, and you can put that in any format you want.
I will not support Bob McDermott, regardless of what his campaign looks like vs. what your campaign looks like.
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition, and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area).
Nothing any other candidate does, or any lack of what you may or may not do, will change why you deserve our full support.
I'm not trying to be contentious, I just thought this was the page we were all on.

WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii, then Mel K for council would really be a bummer...read this on him: http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/main/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3257/Honolulu-Council- Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggage.aspx
What's even more striking, is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man, they run in the same union pack, feed off the same trough. Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand it.....Bob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned it...these two- Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would back....so the link between Mufi, Bob, and Mel is alive....
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaign....however, I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me. Who does Rep Pine support they might ask....if the answer is Bob, the guy who held signs for Mufi, treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero, that says a lot about me and my standing in this parade....Edlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for council...shocked.
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man, a union rollover, an anti Duke guy, what will that do to our message -cohesion, our unity, our tea party movement? Bob M is for Bob M....he never helped us, never helped our cause....he went into hiding when he did not get his way...and now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob, about Bob and in it for Bob.
I can win this race if tea partiers stick together...Mel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand against...those two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece us....the union thug of all thugs known to this day....

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or not...I will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice. If money comes in- a mailer is a given. I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of them....Espero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mel's tribe, is Bob M's tribe, is Celeste's tribe and Rose too, same clan...they all feed at the same trough. So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways. The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djou's, Duke's, Lingle's, Tito's and Pine's team. Mathematically, we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite. I am willing to do that. The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing. Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE.
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can. Folks can take the wheel, take the driver's seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team, for I cannot do this alone, but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons.

Tom Again, you need to develop a concrete plan. Week by week. Show dates--need to raise $ by this date. First mailer goes out this date. Second mailer goes out by this date. Need to show a financial plan. You are mailing to 5 house districts. Shows costs etc. You may just want to mail to kapolei and ewa beach. Not to many people know u outside ewa beach unless they go to neighborhood boards etc. Sen Espero has made deals with al ot of people. The has high name recognition and sen espero will raise money to do a couple of mailers. You need to also get endorsements from key players in kapolei and waianae---bud abel is considered a little crazy there. Call shad kane etc. Hook up with jame's dad to get supporters from hawaiian homes. Espero is well known in kapolei and ewa beach. You now must raise money to win or pull out now. Need a minimum of $50,000 to have a chance against espero. Usually people raise $150,000 and up for council race. I would like to meet with lg, GOP and church leaders tuesday. I need this detailed plan tomorrow. I will not meet with anyone further without this. You need to use all next week to get on the phone at the gop to fundraise. Ask them for help with lists or call the ones I gave you during this election. Raising money next week is key to getting everyone's help. In talking to people, no one see's you as a serious contender---yet. Kym

So roughly $700-$800 came in....I am moving as fast as I can. That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuit...when one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the others...so I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out. I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the website....legislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion. If money was coming in, there would be radio and mailers. I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time.
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way too...relying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening.

Tom, you haven't replied to six e-mails over the past week in which I've asked for an update on fundraising activity/results and for info about your campaign timeline (esp. schedule of mailers and possibly radio). This is very serious stuff.
In the meantime, I've sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans . . . a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you.
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort.
I've been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day, everyday, to fundraising. But I have no idea what's going on.
There is a strong, actually very strong, correlation between a candidate's dedication to fundraising (not- to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign.
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates. I'm getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among 'major candidates' in this race.
If you want my help, you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on. You've got to actively pursue the money chase. The money is there to be raised. But it won't come in unless you pursue it.
9/4/2011 Page 2 of 2
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely), a city council race is an expensive one to win. That's why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on.
I am happy to help, but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline. Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues, but the actual race -- will prevail.
I tried to downplay Kym's frustration over the past few weeks. But now I'm feeling it too.
Days from now, people will be able to vote. One month from now, it's all over. Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list. A single appearance on public radio will not do it either. Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park. You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42, HD43, Kapolei, and right up the Leeward Coast. It cannot be done on the cheap.
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going, neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach you're using to maximize returns. You have the script and the initial set of contacts. The most important step is asking. Several weeks ago, you needed to raise $500 to $1,000 per day. Now, you need to raise $2,500 to $4,000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win.
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involved...then email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchased...in my opinion need it out now.

Nothing is being held up at this end. As I've explained, both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out.
As I've also explained, this is the risk of using e-mail lists which aren't "grown" naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (e.g. website signup, fillling out a volunteer or donor card, originating from your personal e-mail list, etc.).
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account, because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites).
I already sent you the original mailing list before, two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below). Here it is again, minus the unsubscribed addresses.
I'm not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race. I really thought you were gonna go for it this time, doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns: raise money, identify voters, and organize volunteers. Clearly, this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget. Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side. I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race. Now, I'm not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding.
I have done plenty to help this campaign, from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermott's record of helping Democrats, ramping up a website, creating flyers, an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer, two e-blasts, two fundraising cards, lots of copywriting, letterhead, envelopes, a banner, stickers for your existing signage, etc.

In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involved...then email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchased...in my opinion need it out now.

If you are full time- you can't be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on gov't time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutiny....my vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli, one for Waianae, one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board #23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board report....so I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each month...imagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERG's report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me style....so that would be unique and fresh and stand out....so I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the website/electronic emails, and flyers....and all from the comforts of your home if need be when can..so if part-time works that is great...if you need full-time pay- let's do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clock...I think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media....

Things I would do to cut taxes:
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland, CA, much of Wisconsin, other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99% effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input / extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped, thereby lowering operating costs). Look at Wisconsin’s state survey – payback is about 4 years or less. Takes operating costs off the city budget.
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the city’s roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them. Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this. There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale.
(3) cloud computing – consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govt’s electricity bill as I recall was $138 million. The state has over 1000 buildings – counting all UH buildings, all DOE buildings, everything. One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused – all weekends, 13 holidays, school vacations, after 4:30 pm. This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting.
How to finance without going through Legislature – third party financing. Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan, with payback in about 7 years or less, with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue. DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites.
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands.
You now have your chance, Tom. Do all the good that you have always wanted to do.

Rep- Ok on your email. Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - - for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morning...stay put I told him...but certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100% capable of executing a level of mobility at all times...in my opinion, being at the helm- I don't want to second guess someone's ability to execute the task due to such other variables...it is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobility....I have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17th...I am hiring Eric if he takes it. If John runs in 2012, - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than mine....my crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in
8/30/2011 Page 3 of 3
there at times to garner the limelight....for me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stage...so his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for me....and better served in your arena. My two cents.
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement? Do you want them to start earlier than we talked? If I need to exit now, I can as well so you can formulate your plan of action....I am flexible. Did John want to have my position?

Rep- When we have our bills ready- can you do a show with me for my series- FOR EWA TODAY: on the Leeward Coast- this is an opportunity where we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for resolve- especially traffic....I have those 6 bills dug up to advance we discussed last week Thursday.....we could tape in the studio end of January- but has to be before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback.
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my show....and the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are on...so TV show will again feature you.
In my efforts, we are always a team and to craft victories for 2012 all around. With John's running in 2012 for his own accord, for House, I will need all 4 staffers in my office focused on BERG's reelection efforts. I do not have the network/support base yet like you do to offer a staff position whereby that person is using their time running themselves for their own accord....I need all staff committed to the BERG front. I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts - I am not at your level where I can forfeit that position and be shorthanded to help John....I go to all my meetings- John would never get the stage with me/out there to promote and to groom him like you can from your office. I am puzzled why you would not want to help John get elected in 2012 utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure- as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible.
I do not send aides to meetings....I attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him- such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front.
I was planning on hiring team players that could help us both/our mission at hand- it would be very distressful to me to hire John who would be doing his own thing for 2012 leaving me shorthanded -

From: Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan
HERE'S MY TAKE - a little bit longer, but touches on more of Kym's concerns:
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010, it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner, when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race. I still agree with you that this is a great idea. The strange twist that suddenly you’ve changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable.
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else. Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office. I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012. After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010, I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what we’ve all been working for, including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning, fundraising) in our West Oahu chain.
In my efforts, we are always a team and our team’s plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around. With John's running in 2012 for his own accord, I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100% focused on BERG's success, so that I will be an asset in 2012, not a liability. I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer. That’s why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up. John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both.
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012. I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there, while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will. As for my own re-election in 2012, I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100%. I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years, day in and day out. And, while John by definition cannot meet these criteria, I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
7/23/2011 Page 2 of 4
who have campaign experience. As I understand it, that’s precisely what criteria you’ve suggested for me as well. That’s why this rift is needless and unhealthy.
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications. All other positions are open. Right now, I am leaning in favor of hiring Jame’s cousin from Lingle’s office as my executive secretary, which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff. And since the council is a full-time, year- round operation, my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work. That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re- elected: constituent services. I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work, troubleshooting, reporting, interacting with constituents and more. This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing, from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration. There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office. There just isn’t.
As you know, I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts. I never doubted that you would be re-elected. Just as I don’t doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012, while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected.
Let’s be honest. It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office, just like you planned in case I won. I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time, year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end. Also, my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself, rather than send a rep. As a result, John will not have regular chances to be featured, like he would working for you; utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible. You’ll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district. Working in partnership with you, I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions.
I never promised to hire Gollner, nor did I lead you, him or anyone to believe that he’d be joining my team if I won the council seat. Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain, I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand. I don’t get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions. For you to say that you’re going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that I’m not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair.
I’m committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team. Let’s make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven, successful future. I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running. And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise.
Also, for the sake of teamwork, when we have our 2011 bills ready, let’s do a show together for my “For Ewa Today” series. This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic. I’ve already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this
7/23/2011 Page 3 of 4
needless and unforeseen rift emerged. We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month - but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my show....and the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are on...so TV show will again feature you.
Back to 2010, I believe that the ideal scenario for is: Montes vs. Bradshaw – with an early start, Tito can hold onto HD43 Gollner vs. Cabanilla – with an early start, we can all help him in HD42 Pine vs. Espero – no question, you can unseat him Capelouto vs. Har – with an early start, Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012. Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync.
Please apprise. Thanks Tom

Rep- When we have our bills ready- can you do a show with me for my series- FOR EWA TODAY: on the Leeward Coast- this is an opportunity where we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for resolve- especially traffic....I have those 6 bills dug up to advance we discussed last week Thursday.....we could tape in the studio end of January- but has to be before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback.

In my efforts, we are always a team and to craft victories for 2012 all around. With John's running in 2012 for his own accord, for House, I will need all 4 staffers in my office focused on BERG's reelection efforts. I do not have the network/support base yet like you do to offer a staff position whereby that person is using their time running themselves for their own accord....I need all staff committed to the BERG front. I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts - I am not at your level where I can forfeit that position and be shorthanded to help John....I go to all my meetings- John would never get the stage with me/out there to promote and to groom him like you can from your office. I am puzzled why you would not want to help John get elected in 2012 utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure- as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible.
I do not send aides to meetings....I attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him- such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front.

I was planning on hiring team players that could help us both/our mission at hand- it would be very distressful to me to hire John who would be doing his own thing for 2012 leaving me shorthanded -
Please apprise. Thanks Tom

I would want recommend investigating that. Since Sen. Kidani is an elected official, and is not required by Statute to be in the office for any designated period of time, I would want to be sure that the same would apply to you as a staff member.
I would certainly think a full review, to include obtaining an opinion in the case of any ambiguity, would be the best play.

Thanks for letting me know the latest. I gave Tom a quick call and from what he's learned thus far, it can definitely be worked out via hours.
What's funny is that I came across a KITV story while doing research last week: http://www.kitv.com/news/23943551/detail.html
I guess that Sen. Michelle Kidani has also been working full-time as a council staffer. The article mentions says the State Ethics laws don't keep her from working at a City job, just from a State job.
If you like, I can get in touch with the State and City ethics offices to be sure. Shall I investigate?
Thanks again and have a fun day!

I know we just spoke not too long ago, but I just wanted to say thank you so very much for the great opportunity to serve Councilmember Tom Berg.
This comes as a bittersweet message from me to you, but after we spoke, I got offered a job and accepted on the spot.
I thought it was only right to inform you immediately so you could continue seeking the appropriate staff candidates without a missed step.
I hope we can continue to stay in touch, who knows, I may need your professional services for my side business.
It would have been nice to have met you in person, but I'm sure we'll cross paths since we run in the same circles.
I wish you and especially Councilmember-elect Tom Berg all the very best in city government and in life. I would be most grateful if you would be kind enough to pass my congratulations to a fine man, Councilman Berg.

Most importantly:
Also, re: the below, I want to be clear that I have had absolutely no offer of employment from Councilmember Elect Berg, nor have I been given any reason to expect one.
If the Councilmember Elect does offer me employment, it will be completely free and clear of any premise of my resignation from your office.
I am resigning from your employ because of a pattern of unprecedented treatment in which it is obvious to me that no matter how diligently, resourcefully and faithfully I support you, the situation continues to become more divisive, even as I continue to become more contrite and attempt to mitigate what has become an increasingly unreasonable work environment.
I am a 12 year Marine Corps Veteran, and I’ve served you for over 6 years. I have never endured such treatment from a superior, not even as a junior enlisted Marine.

I have just seen that NONE of the events I added after Sat are appearing on the calendar, so that's pretty awesome. I know that the NB's are in, as well as all Jan activities at the council. Agendas will be published for next week's hearings by this Thursday, so at that point I usually update the hearing entries with full descriptions.
That's also your cue, for whomever your committee guy is, to reach out and make all those contacts of interested parties / stakeholders / constituents who will testify on behalf of the bills Tom is working to advance. Also, rather than waiting until Thu, it's always possible they post early so you can check every day, and having a close working relationship with the other cmte's is crucial in order that you may know about the agendas more quickly.
But I digress....
If you have the time before I do, YES we need to go back and look up all the "other" community events besides the NB's, such as the Waianae Comprehensive Health Center stuff, etc.

Just got a call from Kym who would like you to meet with anyone at her office to aid in the transition from you to the new staffer(s) who will be handling constituent services . . . or whatever your job there was. Everything, as I recall. :-)
Anyway, she thanked you for the move out, but really wants your help in handing off to your replacement (s). When asked who you need to meet with, she said anyone.
Gimme a call and I'll fill in any gaps in this request . . .

The lack of a transition was Kym's choice. The "2 weeks" was taken off the table by her, not by you.

Tom I just asked you to move your things so Kaylee can move her things there and that you could stay on staff as long as you needed for financial reasons. I have left you several messages to call me as well as left them with Eric your chief of staff. You telling staff where things are by phone has caused excessive overttime since they could not immediately find them. I have yet to be briefed on constituent concerns and issues you were working on. Telling me I have to go and find them somewhere is unacceptable especially if I have questions. I refuse to continue to waste my time calling and emailing you and your staff with no return phone calls. It normally takes 2 weeks in person to turn over an office. Let me know when you can come in to sign the paperwork. Kym

Aloha Rep- I have always been willing to help- I don't know what you are talking about...when I did come by after I moved out there was no parking available/so I have made an attempt and will continue to do so...I communicated where all is before I left - the CIP matter that I was working on was put in the shared

folder for all your staff to retrieve prior to my leaving and I hope that is in order- if not I can help...a folder for 2011 bills was left for your staff... I recall conversing after I moved out with John about the CIP and he was content with it and stated he had it under control...from constituent concerns to anything else, when I was packing up/I shared all and am making myself available for any future needs...I was told my departure was in order and all that was needed was a letter from you stating my last day etc...it is news to me that I am required to sign anything...but certainly, I am here to cooperate and will sign your letter and do that next week.
I am still hoping to do a TV show with you about our common goals for the district... Tom

Tom, I have left multiple messages for you so has John and Canuto. Your treatment of us and the people of District 43 has been unacceptable. You have departing House documents that you must sign as well as must go over with us the constituent concerns as well as other issues you were working on. You forcing us to spend wasted time looking for folders and through emails to figure out what you were working on the last two years is unacceptable. Staff members have had to work late nights and on weekends to do this. Please call john to set aside some time to finalize this with him and we will be out of your hair.

Aloha Tom!
It was great seeing you today! I talked to the Rep, and she wasn't just wanting to talk about open constituent concerns, she wants to get a chance to go through everything you may have worked on over the past two years so as to not lose any of your work with your departure.
I can make this easier and quicker by having all your files and email on hand to label and categorize things as we talk about them = ).
Also, Kym wanted to have this meeting be just you, me and her. She said we can talk to Eric a different time.
I will call Gemma to set it up, for early Fri afternoon, I just wanted to give you the context beforehand.

Kym's meeting at 7pm at Ewa Makai Middle School cafeteria on March 22nd will be TRUMPED by Colleen Hanabusa.
Just received a glossy, color mass mail piece in my mailbox this morning from Hanabusa, announcing her 7pm meeting on March 22nd at the Ewa Beach Library.
I don't think Kym has the marketing budget to compete with Colleen.
The big questions remaining: (1) Which meeting does Berg attend??; (2) Which meeting does Team Berg promote??

Eric, Did Tom state that he is going to flip flap and going anti rail? Tom has been stating all along in every council meeting he is PRO RAIL. Like IA, Tom needs a good justification and media support to reverse his decision.
Without a good justification of why TOM is doing a flip Flop on rail, He cannot go on utube and take an opposite opposition. HE is going to look like a liar, someone who says one thing and do another. We have to have cohesive and comprehensive well thought out plan. I say we do not release this until TOM and Eric and Phil devise a master strategy. And this can only be release when it is the proper time and all ducks are in place.

This is GREAT Tom!
The kids are excellent and so intelligent and attentive. Gives me a really great hope for the future!
Very dynamic with the fast pace and cuts- I think a lot of these kids will share this on their social media because it is a style and pace of action that they will enjoy seeing over again. Not a flat one-two camera type cut.
The FACT that the kids actually came up with their OWN STUDY and RESULTS is what makes this such a winner video- no one can say you came to convince them of your OWN opinion- this was THEIR FORUM discussing THEIR SURVEY and is therefore AUTHENTIC.
This should get wide circulation- let me know when this Is ready to go and I will spread the link everywhere.

From: Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan
Thanks for sharing this first, Tom:
First off, I suggest we not include Team Pine in any internal communications, since Team Pine's goal is to undermine you. It won't be long until Kym begins publicly going after you. We already know that she has started doing so through her private channels.
As for Tulsi or Calvin or other Dems, they are collectively adhering to a "things have changed" message in contrasting past positions about taxes and fiscal matters against the here and now with 'changes' in the economy and the fiscal reality.
I believe that Democrats, including here on the Council, are exposed on the general issue of promising special interest groups too much . . and this overpromising of taxpayer resources is now biting us all in the ass.
Let's remember that Tulsi and every other Democrat is practically sworn to protect their own as their highest priority. That's why none of them are willing to initiate a public battle, even a City vs. State pissing contest.
Undoubtedly, you are absolutely right about the hypocrisy vis-a-vis Cabanilla, Say, et al. But even the media buys into the "things have changed" mindset. Lingle, mainland, tsunami, etc Current governor, current legislature are being given the benefit of the doubt.
Tulsi is limited by how much she can publicly criticize her fellow Dems. She knows that she won't be able to go where she wants to go in her political career without being deferential to the machine. Look what happened to Ed Case and so many others that didn't play ball. Look at how her own father had to downplay his values since becoming a Democrat in order to 'fit in'.
The Democrats created this crisis and are the last people we can count on to solve these problems. Tom Berg can lead the way to helping Hawaii voters understand this. But we need to use the biggest possible examples, raise and spend lots of money, so we can go directly to the people in order to move the pendulum.
Steadily exposing the chronic MISMANAGEMENT of State and City government which causes the Dems to play games with various categories of revenue is much bigger than the individual examples of these
9/6/2011 Page 2 of 5
fiscal games. I suggest we keep the message to the public as simple and as strong as possible: that the majority party got us into the big mess we're in and that reform is long overdue. Otherwise, the public can be very forgiving during an emergency about what means our leaders use to bail out the boat (whether raiding the hurricane fund or 'borrowing' from the rail fund, etc.).
If you want to use Tulsi's failure to advance your resolution (and Nestor's failure to call a special meeting of the full council) as "last straws" to stop playing nice in order to elevate the image of Berg the Reformer, we can probably use a few more such failures and/or rejections to justify the new outlook. For instance, having the Council reject cost-cutting, result-oriented outsourcing of City services to locally-owned private companies. And having them reject shifting the rail budget to our neglected and lane deficient network of roads and highways. These, along with other fast-paced games of political chicken with fellow councilmembers over BIG issues, should help define Tom Berg as the one person who makes sense, the one person who speaks for taxpayers, the one person fighting for working families on the City Council.
That's my two cents. :-)
Mahalo,
ERIC
TEAM-
I was going to send this to Tulsi- but though it best I run it by you guys first- just a draft...Team Berg does not play games. This flyer sent by Speaker Say's brother is huge huge huge...I hope all House Republicans do not vote to take the TAT- it is critical they do not - please forward the attachment Rep Pine to your Minority to help me make the point and create ammo for 2012 for THE TEAM!!! Celeste- you are a part of the TEAM!!! We need to trust each other in this. Stay focused.
Aloha Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard Tamayo-
Check out the flyer sent by Speaker Say's contingency of which placed "Blame the GOP and Lingle/Aiona Administration" game when it came to taking away the county(s) hotel room tax...this type of flyer/mailer was sent all across the state (tailored for each Speaker Say Democrat supporter) less than five months ago by the Democrat's political action committee....now, it is the Democrats purporting this threat to take away the TAT- it is the Democrat controlled State House and Senate that wants the fund.....if the TAT/Hotel Room Tax is indeed taken away from the counties, what will the next flyer look like from Speaker Say to voters? I can tell you- for they (Dems) are taking credit for not raising PROPERTY TAXES by not taking the TAT as illustrated in the flyer. Logically then, by taking the TAT this year they (Dems) ARE RESPONSIBLE then for raising our PROPERTY TAXES- the Democrats cannot have it both ways!!!!
For the Honolulu City Council to balk and play dead refusing to make a statement that taking away almost $80-90 million by the State Legislature thus far at a rate of some $16-19 million per year from the rail endeavor BECAUSE the State might take away the county's TAT...I implore you to take a gander at the flyer attached. Do the Dems really have the guts to make a 365 degree switch thinking the voter doesn't remember the Dems ploy/pitch/claim/motive during the campaign season of 2010?
I again, just wanted to throw your way that no matter what the State does regarding the TAT- taking it away from the counties will be very risky for the Dems especially when we have this document to show their antics of past....thus, in conclusion, you have the sole means to make a statement with me and do what is right and take command of this political rhetoric and request our rail fund be restored.
9/6/2011 Page 3 of 5
If the council refuses to make a statement, then it appears in my book, this council is extremely partisan and has failed protecting the voter/taxpayer but rather has sought knowingly and willingly to engage in a practice that is geared toward protecting the Democrat Party instead. Had the Republicans took the TAT last year- then the Councils and Mayors would have made a lot of noise and the Councils did when proposed.....campaign flyers even attacked Lingle/Aiona for even thinking about it...but if the Dems do it, "Then shhhh, it had to be done- it was the right thing to do" and the flyers won't be a coming out I bet by Speaker Say blaming the Dems for raising our property taxes and slashing police and fire capabilities all by the direction of the Majority (Dem) faction FACT: The TAT has nothing to do with the Administrative Fee of withholding 10% meant for the rail project when only 3% or less to administer the rail surcharge on Oahu is actually needed....by exclaiming it (the TAT) does impact the rail surcharge fleecing by the State, is playing the game ...something which I refuse to do.
I look forward to being bold with you on this council... advancing the peoples' business fair and square. Please consider adding Reso 11-91 to your agenda....at least, at the very minimum, we can try to do what is right...this (your committee) is our last window in the attempt to call for justice and have such be executed. I included my previous email to you pasted below. I will do everything in my power to share this flyer attached to the folks at the square building to warn them- expose them- to try to get them to knock it off and leave the TAT alone....I think by resurrecting this flyer I can possibly steer them away from being labeled as hypocrites and liars....if they (Dems) take the TAT, then that is what they will be- hypocrites and liars. I will certainly forward the flyer to the media too and I bet that will bring us victory and we can have the TAT stay sound for us...that is why I plead with you to not wait and not associate/make contigent the TAT with the rail surcharge action and just move independently on the rail surcharge issue and make it whole. Reso 11-91 is beautiful and by your adding it to the agenda, all will see such beauty and justice in the making.

Aloha Chair Timson-
As suggested:
Dear Councilmembers and House Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro,
Since the rail surcharge was levied on Oahu in 2007, the State of Hawaii's State Legislature has sought through ACT 247 (Hawaii Session Laws 2005), to apply a ten-
9/6/2011 Page 4 of 5
percent administrative service fee to the amount collected. This is exorbitant considering the administrative fee required to process the surcharge is estimated to be less than three-percent.
This has resulted in the state profiteering off of the rail surcharge whereby $80 to $90 million thus far has been put into the state's General Fund instead of the rail endeavor. To stop the $16- $18 million a year fleecing by the State from the City, we have an opportunity to remedy the amount of the administrative fee with the following action:
SB1426 SD2 is currently awaiting a hearing in the House Finance Committee. We the undersigned request that this bill can be gutted and replaced with language crafted in HB724 HD1 (2007) that previously passed the Hawaii State House of Representatives unanimously. HB724 HD1 stated that the amount of money withheld through an administrative service fee shall be no more than the actual amount required to process and administer the rail surcharge tax collection.
Furthermore, we the undersigned support the intent of the City and County of Honolulu's City Council Resolution 11-91 that urges the State of Hawaii's State Legislature to rectify the amount of the administrative fee to accurately reflect the amount needed to process the rail surcharge.
The neighbor island City Councils chose not to raise their GET for transportation relief but through ACT 247 (HSL 2005), are able to garner funds through Oahu's taxpayers amounting to millions each year that was meant solely to benefit the rail project on Oahu. You have the means to correct the improper scheme of taking more money than is needed to administer the rail surcharge by supporting a hearing for SB1426 SD2. Please gut and replace that measure with language that removes any borrowing of rail funds to rather reflect an administrative fee that only retains what is needed to collect the rail surcharge.
Under no circumstances, by requesting a hearing for SB1426 SD2, do we favor the current language of that measure. As it stands, we the undersigned are totally opposed to the current language contained in SB1426 SD2 and understand this bill is the only vehicle left in which to take corrective action to the administrative fee per statute.
xxxxxxxxx You end with your wording here and include the names of the supporters of this tactic - all of which can be done via email for swiftness and ease.
############ Chair Timson, here are the mail/addresses (emails) of the Council members- available through this link: http://www1.honolulu.gov/council/ccl.htm
House Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro's email is: [email protected]
I have attached to this email the PDF of Resolution 11-91 that I introduced that urges the Legislature to rectify the administrative fee amount being withheld so you can attach that too to your email submitted and any other links that I have provided that augment the "testimony."

Aloha Rep Ward-
I don't want top create a rift between us nor the caucus- so I am doing everything in my power to plead to you to do what is right, and also just, and in the name of acting in good faith, execute such. RE: RAIL SURCHARGE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE rip-off by the State Legislature.
If the Minority Caucus merely advances a budget that excludes calculating into it the rail surcharge excess- the GOP will be known for standing tall and doing what is right and calling out the DEMS and also those on the fifth floor as the ones who have faltered. Please amend your budget to not reflect the $16 million graft. I am preparing a major OP ED piece for the Star Advertiser and want to include your amended budget proposal that does not use the excess rail surcharge fees above the necessary amount needed to actually process and administer the tax.
By including the stealing, skimming off the top, taking their cut, political graft, "robbing the Oahu taxpayers" as Councilman Anderson stated, it is evident on the very first rail contract brokered, the vendor being the State of Hawaii State Legislature of which has for four years now been knowingly and willingly hoarding roughly $16-$19 million per year above and beyond the administrative fee necessary to process the rail surcharge,...leaves the TEA PARTIERS having no faith in both the Republicans and Democrats alike to be accountable. All one has to do is google this subject and you will see every publication and known author provide commentary that the Legislature is acting in bad faith and needs to make right.
I had to overcome many hurdles over on my end to sunshine in on the agenda and get passed out of committee the rail surcharge matter (see my reso I sent you earlier this week) of which others stated "please be quite as they might then raid the TAT." I expect you too, will do what is just and take corrective action to your budget proposal that currently to my understanding, condones, coddles, and embraces taking the .5% tax levied upon Oahu taxpayers alone - then depositing excess monies from administering the tax (you only need 3% at most but you are taking 10%- profiteering off the job), and then you put that excess into your General Fund of which neighbor island folks then benefit from without contributing a dime into that rail surcharge over here on Oahu....this is corrupted government and I plead with you to take action so we can work together, and not foster sourness.
Please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell at 753-7324....by the House Minority Caucus merely proposing not taking the excess funds estimated at $16 million- I can then advance media and other coverage about our GOP being truly not like them and that will really help all of us in 2012 when on the podium. Otherwise, I have to hold my head down wondering why the GOP has lost all principle and is no better than "them."

But not one DEM or GOPer at the STATE CAPITOL will stand tall and act in good faith and do what is right. Both sides are acting in bad faith and that is why I am a TEA PARTIER- I believe in doing what is right for the taxpayer regardless of party affiliation. Can you say GRAFT? I worked so hard to get the reso heard I wrote- I had to add it to an agenda on the spot during a committee meeting THAT I DO NOT CHAIR to meet sunshine and then lobby COUNCIL Chair Garcia to call for a RARE special meeting which is to hear just ONE MEASURE- mine....and then those at the Legislature blow me off and want me to stay quite because all of them are acting in bad faith...name the one REPUBLICAN in the HOUSE who will stand up and call out of committee SB1426 SD2 by April 14th deadline and get 17 votes needed to amend it by taking FLOOR ACTION and do what is right? I have begged and pleaded with the GOPers and leadership and all of them are playing the game and duping us...for shame.

Sorry Tom, I resent this yesterday, but it was still in my outbox this morning. I'll call you to make sure you got, or just let me know. The worksheet is attached.
This is the most detailed info I'm going to get before we finish crossover on Tue:
This budget KEEPS the State in the positive column, while doing right by the 1.1 million Oahu residents who voted in favor f rail, by returning the excess GET Surcharge collection currently being siphoned into the State's General Fund.
We are able to achieve this by adding only one more item to the proposed cuts. We will save 1.8 million in both FY12 & 13 by reassigning the functions of the State's Office of Community Services. This can be done so as to keep the same services and access to these services, but at the same time removing redundancy & duplicate service points.

I estimate that I'll have the substance I'm looking for by 3pm today. This budget is the exact same as the Minority Caucus current proposal with only one exception: 1. This budget KEEPS the State in the positive column, while doing right by the 1.1 million Oahu residents who voted in favor f rail, by returning the excess GET Surcharge collection currently being siphoned into the State's General Fund.
We are able to achieve this by adding only one more item to the proposed cuts. We will save 1.8 million in both FY12 & 13 by reassigning the functions of the State's Office of Community Services. This can be done so as to keep the same services and access to these services, but at the same time removing redundancy & duplicate service points.

Don't be a dummy, Kym. Take your own advice. You appear to feel that you have knowledge of the law and knowledge about what constitutes harrassment. Perhaps you can explain how calling our City Hall staff and harassing them, and visiting our City Hall office and harrassing them again, does not constitute harassment. Perhaps you can explain how in your twisted alternate universe I am supposed to send you something you have requested without then being in 'violation' of your self-proclaimed cease and desist order. If you are in need of prescription medication, please start taking those pills again. Don't make me and others sorry that I re-elected you by continuing your misbehavior. I obviously cannot produce the actual original invoice, because is was folded, sealed in an envelope, and mailed to your campaign address. You have the most recent invoice, marked PAST DUE. Settling 'amicably' by your actions seems to be defined as non-payment and proposed looting of taxpayers as a last resort. Your e-mail response, combined with your continued misbehavior, does not put me in the proper mood to extend my deadline beyond Saturday. I've waited long enough. Settlement is not an option, otherwise you would have made partial payments by now. Payment in full is your only option. I will be checking my mailbox at noon tomorrow. Please advise your attorney that your loss at the State Ethics Commission will soon pale by comparison as a direct result of your intransigence and poor judgement . . . as well as your lack of seriousness about keeping up your "perfect record" of paying vendors.

Eric, You need to provide the ORIGINAL invoices that you say you sent to me, for each of the items that you say is now past due. Since they are past due according to you, you should not have a problem producing this. I need to advise you that you are breaking multiple state and federal laws right now. I advise you to cease and desist on the path that you are taking. Please also cease and desist from any further contact as this is also considered harassment. I also advise you that any retaliation in anyway outside of the court system is also illegal. All options in my opinion to settle this amicably with you in the last 4 months have failed.
Please produce these ORIGINAL invoices, the dates they were sent and descriptions for charges that we agreed on and what they were for by monday and deliver to John. I have a very strong case to settle this in court and will do so. Mahalo, Kym

new 'website promo' banner is in production. frame and bungee hooks are ready for action. heavy signwaving by crew #2 begins tom'w.
Used the frames that we used for the Mao Farm meeting. Picture I sent will show what we had to work with. Just need to raise it so the banner is off the ground. Didn't have time to do this because of the late notification. Can easily make legs longer, though. Be out there again this evening.

From: Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan
I suggest that for maximum impact, there be two teams: one with the town hall promo banner, and one with the attached website promo banner (as the website features the townhall meeting).
I can probably get this banner comped from my FedEx account . . . and it already fits the PVC frames I've constructed. So no charge. Lemme know.
I am asking the three of you to band together and promote the rail mtg....I need all of you to get 50 copies EACH of the rail flyer- full color- from Gemma- make certain the rail flyer is the $5.3 billion figure and not the $5.5 billion figure- so once you have the flyers in hand- go to every place the public frequents and see if the owner or manager of the property will post the flyer on their window or door etc...library, barber shops,shopping centers- anywhere can...eating and drinking establishments in our area/district.
As for the banner- I want your hours to be expended in the next ten days to take turns holding the rail banner at various street locations....who is going to construct the pvc plastic pipe frame to take apart for transport to display the banner in the frame by bungy cords - and you three sign wave in your polo or t-shirts in morning and afternoon rush- and I join when can...would you guys please consider using the banner Evelyn has for just holding it the next 10 days to promote the rail mtg? Please advise... Thanks Tom

I can meet with you tomorrow out in the district after the Nanakuli Concert at Nanakuli football field.
