IC ~ti ~ <br /> f'V1 <br /> t~u~,~~ <br /> <br /> To: The Honorable James Arakaki, Chairperson 5!20/97 <br /> And Members of the County Council <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> From: Bonnie Bator <br /> P.O. Box 565 <br /> Kurtistown, Hawaii 96760 <br /> Re: Bill 62: Amends CAPITAL BUDGET <br /> Fiscal Year July 1 1996 to June 30 1997 <br /> $2 Million Bond plus interest for a PRIVATE <br /> Post Harvest Treatment Facility (FOOD IRRADIATION FACILITY) <br /> Greetings: <br /> The underground fire burning next to the police station in Kona at <br /> the old dump, is an unfortunate problem. <br /> Bill 77: A $10 Million Bond plus interest to close the dump at <br /> revered Pu'uanahulu is an unfortunate waste of BORROWED money. <br /> The Hilo dump was supposed to be closed last year by the EPA. <br /> The County is unable to manage this island's rubbish, Why is <br /> the County BORROWING $2 Million, Bill 62 to fund a PRIVATE lethal <br /> radioactive Irradiation Facility? <br /> Mahalo plenty to Council Members C. Tyler and J. Reynolds for <br /> voting "NO" on Bill 62, I pray there will be additional "NO" votes today. <br /> Our children of Puna are in desperate need. The proposed loan <br /> of $10 Million, Bill 77 & borrowing $2 Million to fund a PRIVATE <br /> Irradiation Facility, Bill 62 are insane proposals. <br /> A borrowed $12 Million could be better spent on a recycling <br /> program benefiting the Big Island in a cost effective manner. Or to finish <br /> the soccer field in Keaau, which wcas dedicated in Lorraine Inouye's <br /> term of Mayor. <br /> Please, let common sense prevail, vote "NOl" on both Bill 62 <br /> and Bill 77. Please do not vote to bring lethal radioactive material to <br /> the Big Island when the County is unable to manage this island's <br /> solid waste (rubbish). ~N~ C ~P <br /> iv~._~ <br /> 1{,ep, ly~Presented <br /> tear. ng~ MAY 2 o fss7 <br /> <br />
