Puri Mauka St. <br /> Pahoa, HI 96778 <br /> Phone 808 965-9423 <br /> FAX 808 965.8617 <br /> 5/8197 <br /> Hawaii County C'rnmcil Fax 969-3291 <br /> ?5 AupuniSt. <br /> Hilo, Hl 96720 <br /> RIr 13111 F2 & Kes. 71 <br /> Question: Since when is the County in the bu.iness of giving tax dollar to individuals in fur-profit <br /> business venwres, particularly sonuthing us unpopular and conU'over.,ial as food irradiation? Lf this <br /> is a prardent, a'e arc certain there arc hundreds of other small, nicdium, and large businesses who <br /> would be more than happy to get on their own S2•million Bras-y train. <br /> Question', R'here is the Hawaiian Beaches tennis court Mayor Yamashirn claimed credit for in <br /> October 1996 (prior to elccUOn Jay)? The bulldozers were there working when we personally <br /> drove down to verity its (potential furore) existence m early Novemher 1996. An innpecnrnt of tha <br /> site in April 1997 shows no activity, save [he jungle growing back to reclaim the "courts." Luck of <br /> funds? There appears ro be 52 million avuiL~ble to give to pm ate enterprise. <br /> Question: Why are private citizens and taxpayers muintainmg County parks? For the second year <br /> children (St. Joseph School pupds) were par into sen~itudc clewing Lihuokalani Park because the <br /> County apparently has m;ufficient manpower w do [he job itself. Leek of funds? Thcrc appear> to <br /> be 52 mlliou available to give to private enterprise. <br /> Que<tion~ If the County is willing to gtvc over taxpayer money, w}ty nut give some to the State w it <br /> can replace the etreethghts that arc propped up with uufimshcd lumber at the Hilo lnternanonal <br /> Airport? This band-aid rrpuirjob looks pathetic and reflects badly on Hilu's already run-down <br /> image. Can't gee at least glee the appearance of having our as wgcther'~ State doesn't have the <br /> funds'? The County appears tv has'e 52 million avmlahle. <br /> The[c arc bc«cr ways to spend mdhon. Ta+.payer money should be spent where it clearly <br /> benefits taxpayers. not (ur the benefit of pri vale individuals in the hope of trickle down for the rest <br /> of us. <br /> Sincere h~, <br /> Jeanne and Stephen Hannigan _ <br /> <br /> _ ~ - i i. ,'7 - - <br /> ~ I _ 1 wrr, <br /> i <br /> File Nu.
