We are rapidly los ng access to our <br /> own islands most beautiful places and need to act no to keep them open to <br /> <br /> the public. This bill would insure some funding to help his cause. <br /> Remember, in poising conducted last year 70-80% of awaii County <br /> residents favor the creation of such a fund and the pro action of our <br /> precious lands. <br /> What could possibly be the reason not to pass t is bill? So that <br /> <br /> developers get a free rein on our coastline and possibl rezoning in the <br /> <br /> future for ALL places that only rich people from other I nds can enjoy? <br /> Why would our kids stay here if they can't go fis ing, camping, <br /> <br /> surfing, hiking swimming etc.. (and why would tourists come here if there <br /> is no access to the <br /> beach) Will we have to fight tooth and nail every single time a developer <br /> <br /> swoops in to take another pristine beach? <br /> We've seen this type of funding happen successful) on Nlaui and Kauai. <br /> Let's spread this to the Big Island. It may seem like a v ry big island but <br /> <br /> accessible places that are not bought up by big money will become few and <br /> <br /> far between. <br /> I have lived in Hawaii all my life. My faith in common ense depends on <br /> <br /> your vote to support bill 78, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Allie Atkins <br /> Lehua Lena Nursery <br /> " <br /> ~'~:~r~. ~~5 <br /> <br />
