they can increase already handsome profits; and some have even illegally imported aliens to work their farms INSTEAD OF HIRING LOCALSIII The Hamakua Coast tree planting project has backfired because it is in the wrong hands...of those who would harm us at their economic gain. Making the same mistake with an irradiator here will have it's own repercussions, again making us the guinea pigs of industry and possibly our own government. Imagine a few scenarios: Acres devastated for papaya plantings resulting In chemical spraying in your area unless grown organic, large corporations being supplied the majority of trees (as is currently happening making It very difficult for small orchards to obtain trees), and stepped-up cargo flights from all islands and to the mainland roaring over Hilo. A proliferation of portable private Oreystar units with water soluable nuclear Cesium 137 could be available to those with the right papers and connections. The Hawaii State Constitution guarantees us the right to a healthy and safe environment. I believe that our County Council will see the truths clearly and reject 2 million for an irradiation facility. We then must ask our Mayor to use his infinite wisdom, consider his responsibility to us and the land oP Hawaii, and turn away from this universal and devastating threat to our humanity. Mayor Yamishlro, seek the higher path of wisdom. End the chemical poisoning of our island, our people, their air and water. Through the power of your office of mayor, you can protect and guide us toward an organically sound sustainable future with solid, dependable profits for local residents.
