<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: Bill Martin [bmartin@island-styles.com] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 11:01 AM <br /> To: cohmayor@co.hawaii.hi.us; Holschuh, Fred; Ikeda, Donald; Arakaki, James; Higa, Stacy; <br /> Safarik, Gary; Jacobson, Bob; Hoffmann, Pete; Pilago, K. Angel; Isbell, Virginia; <br /> counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Demand and Request <br /> Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council: <br /> PLEASE PUT THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT AND LET HAWAII COUNTY VOTERS <br /> DECIDE IN NOVEMBER TO MODIFY THE EXISTING Open Space and Natural <br /> Resources ORDINANCE BY MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: <br /> 1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open <br /> Space and Natural resource acquisition and <br /> 2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund. <br /> WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO HONOR over 9,000 people who have signed this <br /> Petition. Citizens have been frustrated by conflicting instructions <br /> from the County as to the timelines and the stringent application of <br /> the arbitrary and ambiguous criteria that the County has imposed on <br /> this process. We ask the County to include signatures of voters that: <br /> 1- forgot to write the st. ave. or highway suffix as part of their <br /> residence addresses r» <br /> 2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column. C) <br /> Both of these criteria are clearly implied. We believe that the °r? <br /> County should be using petition information to qualify signatures not looking for insignificant reasons to disqualify voter's signatures. r? <br /> Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now! <br /> Sincerely, :21 <br /> Name: William J Martin <br /> Address: 16-1146 11 Road (Pulelehua), Kurtistown, HI 96760 <br /> - <br /> Date: 7/11/2006 <br /> BTW.... it is a FEDERAL law, you cannot ask for a Social Security <br /> number from a private citizen in order to verify identity!!! You MAY <br /> ask for the last four numbers of a SS#, but even that is not required <br /> to be offered by a citizen. <br /> Bill Martin <br /> Bill Martin's Creative Services <br /> Mac OS 9.x, X Consulting services and support <br /> Digital Photography, Audio, Video <br /> Copywriting, Production services <br /> Aerial & Underwater Video and Still Photography <br /> bmartin@island-styles.com <br /> hookoa@mac.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
