Bill Medeiros
From dKosopedia
Bill Medeiros, was elected to represent East Maui on the Maui County Council in 2006.
In a Honolulu Advertiser article entitled, 4 up for E. Maui council seat and dated August 7, 2006, Christie Wilson reports:
- Medeiros, 59, who will retire from the county public works department at the end of the year, said he has deep knowledge of the rural East Maui community and its large Native Hawaiian population. He said voters in his district "are quiet in making their needs known."
- "To get a sense of the community and the pulse of East Maui, it really helps to be brought up here. You just know what the people are like and their traditions and practices," he said.
- The Air Force veteran said he wants to advocate for the elderly and for more sports and recreational venues. To ease the housing crunch and traffic woes, Medeiros thinks the council should pressure resort developers to include worker housing within their projects. "If we can house people close to where they work, they would be off the road," he said.
- On the subject of development, in general, Medeiros said he "would review every project for its merits or demerits and whether it benefits the majority of the community and provides affordable housing, parks, infrastructure and schools. To say, 'I'm going to reject everything and I'm not going to approve anything' is irresponsible." [1]
