My point was not to point out Sam Slom's health problems.  My point is that Council District 4 includes Hawaii Kai, Kuliouou, Niu Valley, Aina Haina, Wailupe, Waialae-Iki, Kalani Valley, Kahala, Wilhemina Rise, Kaimuki, portions of Kapahulu, Diamond Head, Black Point, Waikiki, and Ala Moana Beach Park.  Senate District 9 only consists of Hawai‘i Kai, Kuli‘ou‘ou, Niu, ‘Aina Haina, Wai‘alae-Kahala, Diamond Head.  The City Council and its Committees meet all year long.  The Senate meets only 60 days in the year.  So the number of meetings that Stanley Chang had to attend during his term as our councilmember, were three times as many as Sam Slom’s.  Natalie knows this.  That said, Michael Leong in Stanley’s staff, was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation in December, 2014, by the Kuli`ou`ou-Kalani Iki Neighborhood Board No. 2, for the consistent kōkua he gave to our community on Stanley’s behalf.
