<br /> <br /> FROM FAX NO. May. 01 2006 07:57AM P1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> To: County of Hawaii <br /> Finance Committee Chairwomen, <br /> Virginia Isbell and Committee Members April 30, 2006 <br /> <br /> FAX: 961-8912 <br /> <br /> <br /> TESTIMONY FOR Bill 268 Fair and Equitable Access to Governmental <br /> Process. <br /> I am in SUPPORT BILL 268 - FAIR AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO <br /> GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS <br /> <br /> Citizens of the Big Island need and deserve access and representation to <br /> their government. A recurrent theme from the Kona Development Plan <br /> meetings is the recognition of the role government plays in our lives, and <br /> how it has failed the people of Hawaii County. <br /> <br /> Government by and for the people is just that, and failure to <br /> conduct those affairs in the venue where the ci*ens are directly <br /> effected is disenfranchisement. <br /> <br /> If the Hawaii County Council is not willing to respond to this question of <br /> accountability and fairness, they should allow for the creation of a separate <br /> municipality to address the issue. <br /> <br /> We need TAXATION WITH REPRESENTATION. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> James Cohn <br /> Hawaii Island Tax Payer since 1985 <br /> Concerned Citizen of west Hawaii <br /> JCIP@hawall.rr.com <br /> 808-327-0362 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
