<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: D & P Pinner [edpinner@hilo.net] <br /> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 6A9 AM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us g l~ <br /> Subject: Moratorium on GMO Taro ZOs ~flN 23 <br /> <br /> Chair Hoffman and Council Members- <br /> (-,OUNI <br /> <br /> I have been a Taro farmer here in Hilo for 28 years. I am so busy I have not had time to <br /> properly investigate all the damn hullabaloo that has been stirred up by trying to shove <br /> more GMO crops at the people of Hawaii without due process. <br /> While I'm not up to date on the ramifications of GMO Taro and have not had time to study <br /> it, I think that what has happened in the past in this state with both Corn and Papaya is <br /> DEFINITELY NOT in the best interests of the good people of this state. <br /> Why not give us a year to properly find out about this proposed modification and truly <br /> understand what it means for us farmers? <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dean Pinner <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm N& 8~'a . zZ <br /> Ref.
