Hawaii is losing too much land to development which tries to lock it up so Chat all of us can't <br /> enjoy these special places. Bill 78 creates a window of opportunity which can protect, save <br /> and conserve our precious spaces. I urge you to pass this bill for our future generations, for our cultural <br /> and heritage and economically (tourist like these places to stay as they are). I hope the Council <br /> takes this bold step into the future by creating this fund. Lastly polls taken last year showed that 70- <br /> 80% ofthose surveyed wanted such a fund to purchase and save our lands. You councilors say you <br /> want to Follow 'the peoples will'. Well the people have spoken. <br /> Thank You, <br /> Tlaloc Tokuda <br /> The wonders of the Internet, I'm on my farm in Australia and can keep in touch with my beloved island. <br /> I would like to urge all of you who care for the Big Island to contact your County Council member and <br /> urge them to pass Bi1178. Bill 78 would create a fund (taking 2% of real property tax revenue) to <br /> protect our economy and our beautiful coastal lands, forests, and historic Hawaiian sites for our children <br /> and grandchildren, by purchasing these important lands and heritage. In polls conducted last year 70- <br /> 80% ofHawaii Gounty residents favor the creation of such a fund to protect our precious lands. The bill <br /> passed its tirst hearing and now it needs to pass the full Council on May 4 and for the final reading on <br /> May 18th. So until that time please contact your Council member to urge them to pass this very <br /> important bill. You can call your Council members at 808-961-8225 to voice your support and then send a positive letter <br /> or email directly to to the Hawaii County Council encouraging sunport for Bi//78 Or, you can Fax it! 808-961-8912 (Include Bill #78 in <br /> subject line). <br /> <br /> The Island of Hawaii needs your kokua. <br /> Comm.
