Reduce taxes by reducing number of council members

Let’s save some money and reduce taxes.

In my opinion, we have way too many members on the County Council. I believe they are dead weight. They never come up with anything that is useful. They didn’t protect the homeowners on Hamburger Hill. They were quick to give themselves and their assistants raises. I do not understand why they even have assistants. They do not even attend all the County Council meetings. They take unnecessary trips at our expense. They now want to ship garbage from Hilo.

Let’s wake up and amend the law to cut the number of potential members in half.

Let’s stop giving away money. They have done nothing about the mayor’s trips to the bars. They seem to represent the people who contribute to their campaigns. Wake up voters.
