text: Thank you for bringing this up, Choon.  The proposal contains two parts.  O&M should be consolidated under one agency or department in order to be effective and efficient.  This proposal also creates a rate commission and deletes the transportation commission.
  
  The second part gives the HART board me control and authority.  For example, it would allow them to issue revenue bonds with the approval of council.  Voters should read and understand this proposal before voting on it.
  
  The proposal is available at http://www.honoluluchartercommission.org/images/approved.
  
  The ballot question, which does not adequately describe the changes in my opinion, is available at http://www.honoluluchartercommission.org/images/meetings/ballot/Proposal_076A_Ballot_Q.pdf.
  
  The commission's next meetings are 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and 2:15 p.m. Thursday.
