would be in the millions oI'dollazs each year i'or the leases, and there should be a <br /> elevating scale each year for inflation. In 65 years the amount of the lease will be a token <br /> of what that store will make. <br /> i did not come here to go over their business, and their legal rights. I came here to tell <br /> you that you have a responsibility to vote to Ban Superstores because we are not ready to <br /> <br /> give up our business. Small businesses will not survive with a huge Superstore center in <br /> Kailua Kona. or Hilo. We aze having the pie cut so many times now that it will not <br /> benefit our families to continue. The visitors to Hawaii bring a majority of the income to <br /> this island, if you turn off the visitor, they have plenty of visitor destinations to go. As <br /> for your businesses in your district such as towns in Waimea, Honokaa, Hawi, Hilo, <br /> Volcano ask them , if they can live off the income that they generate from the local <br /> community. The answer is no they can not. The visitor industry is healthy and happy <br /> here now. 13on't mess up a good thing. Irven Kauai knows that their treasure is to keep <br /> it Hawaiian. They have banned Superstores and haven't regretted. <br /> Why is this Isiaud for sale to the tughest bidder'? Please consider the importance ot'this <br /> <br /> bill today. We are still allowing big box stores to build their stores, why worry. Just do it <br /> <br /> today Ban the Superstores for the future. Small business owners do vote in each <br /> election and we will not forget those who let us down. <br /> Mahalo <br /> Aloha <br /> Marie Aguilar <br /> <br />
