Given the (statewide) dtcllne of tourism., the reduction <br /> of the military and the redutton of welfare beneflu • along with the decline of sugar, <br /> pineapp]e, etc., this Is a difficult but vary real iuue. <br /> The proposed irradiation facility Is a logical and sensible way forward for an oconomy <br /> that neode very badly to find other income ewrbos, <br /> 7f you are from out of state, or can count ot+ suboidized living fmm federal or Ather <br /> sources, this may not matter, However, for most of those who are not, and who cart <br /> about the fliwre et;onomle viability of this island, tiro ability to be able to sell tta <br /> agricultural produet8 le crltIcal. <br /> We have heard that ehs use of such a facility wind "taint" nil island agricultural <br /> products.
