Angel; Isbell, Virginia; <br /> counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Petition regarding modifications to the Space and Natural Resources Ordinance <br /> Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council: <br /> <br /> As of this date over 9000 people have signed the Petition to put on November's <br /> ballot the question of whether to modify the existing Open Space And Natural `~„1i,•- c <br /> Resources Ordinance by making the following changes: C 't r- <br /> 1 -To <br /> set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open Space and <br /> Natural resource acquisition and <br /> 2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund. <br /> I am asking the County to honor the wishes of these citizens and include <br /> signatures of voters that: <br /> 1- forgot to write the st. ave. or highway suffix as part of their residence <br /> addresses <br /> <br /> 2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column. <br /> Many people worked hard to gather these signatures and they and those who <br /> signed the petitions did so with the belief that in a representative, <br /> democratic government, their representatives would be eager to assist their <br /> constituents in making their voices heard. I believe that the County should <br /> be doing all it can to support the petition process rather than attempting to <br /> disqualify signatures. The question is not whether or not you agree with the <br /> proposal, but whether you believe the residents of Hawaii Island have the <br /> right, through the ballot box, to have a voice in the future of their home. <br /> Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Name: Lynda Wallach <br /> Address: PO Box 1468 <br /> Kapaau, Hi 96755 <br /> Email: lyndawallach@usa.net <br /> Date: July 9, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
