Page Two <br /> Big Island Farm Bureau <br /> <br /> November 22, 2004 <br /> Bill 49 Draft 4 <br /> Such discounts have long had a place in public policy because they implement Hawaii <br /> Constitution's requirement. We do not believe agricultural producers are seeking special <br /> consideration outside of the State Constitution. Article XI, Section 3: AGRICULTURAL. <br /> LANDS state, "The State shall conserve and protect agricultural lands, promote diversified <br /> agriculture, increase agricultural self-sufficiency and assure the availability of agriculturally <br /> suitable lands. The legislature shall provide standards and criteria to accomplish the foregoing". <br /> Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment on Bi1149 Draft 4. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Delan Perry <br /> President <br /> cc: All Council Members <br /> <br />
