Senator Clayton Hee has submitted an additional amendment to his financial disclosure statements filed with the State Ethics Commission.
In a May 31, 2011 letter addressed to commission director Les Kondo, Hee refers to “inadvertent omissions previously filed.”
The amendments to be applied to Hee’s disclosure statements for 2006 to 2009 now list his own legislative salary, his wife’s business income, and her 100% ownership of her own business, Lynne Waters Communications.
According to state business registration records, Lynne Waters was also a director of two nonprofits during all or part of the period covered by these reports, Kick Start Karate (headed by Lee Donahue) and Hawaii Alliance for Arts Education. If this is the same Lynne Waters, these positions should have been disclosed by Hee as well.
Interestingly, according to the disclosure statements, Hee did not own any interest in business, have any outside income from consulting activities, any stocks valued at more than $5,000, and did not serve as an officer of any community organizations at any time during the period covered by these reports.
Yet his campaign literature described Hee, the candidate, as a business owner and consultant. Misleading? You decide.

Always amazing how so many folks in relatively low paying government jobs have such great lifestyles and later leave office in darn good financial shape. It’s a miracle.
I actually think it’s the opposite. Of course, there’s always a few examples of people who made out better working for government but from my observation is that many more people sacrifice while working for the government.
For example, legislators who are attorneys are less likely to make full partners in their firm than if they just worked full-time as lawyers.
Richard, can you name, say, a dozen people out of the “many folks” who left government jobs in “darn good financial shape”?
Lincoln spoke about the better angels of our nature, but I fear they have fled these shores.

Nothing interesting through ’09. But worth keeping an eye on.
I filed a complaint against Hee under Senate rules a week ago, so far no response. So maybe filing what might possibly be considered fraudulent reports is condoned in our legislature.
The correctons alone, and your observations, cry out for some kind of investigation.
