It is urgent that <br /> the county of Hawaii, in cooperation with the state and federal governments work quickly to preserve the still as yet <br /> unspoiled natural and cultural treasures of our island. We all know that the Kau coastline is the largest stretch of undisturbed <br /> land in the Islands and shelters endangered species. <br /> Bill 78, dedicating 2 of our country property tax [o a preservation fund for open space and natural wonders assures that <br /> moneys will be coming into the fund on a regular basis, and Bill 79, floating a 10 million bond to buy and preserve lands <br /> immediately in danger is a necessity is seems iCwe are to receive matching funds from a state and federal level. Lastly Bill 80 <br /> viewing what has been happening in Pahala, seems critical because it ensures that no one will be left in the dark about how a <br /> piece of ag land suddenly becomes residential development land- using a rezoning procedure that requires a public hearing is <br /> the proper choice for assuring democratic participation in protecting our environment. <br /> Mahalo for your wise consideration in preserving a future for us and our keiki. <br /> Susan Van Dongen <br /> Box 964 <br /> Naalehu,Hi 96772 <br /> Do You Yahoo!? <br /> Tired of Spam?
