Murashige, Laura <br /> From: jthibau2@d.umn.edu <br /> Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 12:28 PM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us ~ti~7 2~ ~~r ~ r:~ <br /> Subject: res 169-07 <br /> Dear, Council Members <br /> I am writing in regards to the reversal of resolution 169-07 and my dismay. <br /> 2 do not live in the area and I have no monetary interest or gain,my interest is in the <br /> fact that it is such a beautiful and natural place. <br /> I was lucky to visit in 2003 and I can say that in all my travels in my fifty plus <br /> <br /> years this is one of the most scenic and beautiful spots.I have been to exotic locales <br /> that is what travel brochures call them,but many are overcrowded tourist spots that donot <br /> tell about the local culture or people. <br /> When I visited, I was very fortunate to meet some of the local people and heard from them <br /> what their homeland means to them in economic terms and cultural history. - <br /> You as council members have a chance to do a positive for the people who live there as <br /> well as yourselves and future generations. <br /> The chance to make a difference does not always occur to people, and yet with your vote <br /> and ability to make a change this is in your hands and vote. <br /> i am asking you to please reconsider the long term consequence of your vote. The actions <br /> of your council will effect many generations to come long after we are all gone from this <br /> earth. Future generations can look back and say we have a beautiful home and it is <br /> sustainable for us with out having to destroy the natural beach and surrounding area.Arid <br /> they will have this council and their wisdom to thank. This to me is a much better legacy <br /> than to have them look back and say we have another overcrowded and overdeveloped beach <br /> that we can not afford to live in. I am not trying to be disrespectful or think I know <br /> more than the council members or the people who live there. 2 am just speaking from my- <br /> heart, 2 truly feel that you are all very fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful <br /> place. 2 do not want to be selfish,but I would like to come back in a few years with my <br /> family and have them see the same place that I saw several years ago.If 2 want them to see <br /> overcrowded beach and problems we can always go to a beach on Honolulu. Thank you for <br /> taking time to read this long a-mail. <br /> Mahalo <br /> James Thibault <br /> 130 west Quince Street <br /> Duluth,Mn 55811 <br /> 218-726-4195 or 218 726-8285 <br /> jthibau2C~d.umn.edu <br /> This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. <br /> Comm.
