They don't represent us. <br /> Your "Punalu'u Public Survey' is our first opportunity to express our feelings. <br /> Both my wife and I are registered voters and we take time to vote. <br /> Our opinions are basically the same. We favor Sea Mountain Five developing <br /> their land according to their plan. Hopefully they have developed a plan that is <br /> profitable. It's not right for some vocal minority groups to extort from this developer. <br /> I checked the zoning at the planning department. Sea Mountain Five bought that <br /> Punaluu property with 250 feet from the ocean zoned conservation, then there's a strip <br /> zoned urban, and the balance is zoned resort. So long as Sea Mountain Five complies <br /> with that zoning it is their right to develop their land. <br /> Additionally, we need some jobs in Ka'u. The lack of jobs here is partially <br /> responsible for drug use. Improper law enforcement is the cause of drug problems here. <br /> It is corruption when the police look the other way for their friends and relatives or for <br /> payoffs. <br /> There is plenty of other Ka'u coastline usable for parks. <br /> This development will bring additional infrastructure, such as enhanced police, <br /> fire, medical, etc. that currently are not available at an acceptable level. Hence, the <br /> county police, prosecutors, and judges withheld law enforcement effectively putting our <br /> Ka'u Gold Orange farm, employing 50 people, o/u~t <br /> of business. <br /> Aloha, / / ~l~v..~apye•~ ~ ~~Q,c~ ~G~,,,,.~ <br /> Morton and Keiko Bassan <br /> Comm.
