Date APR 22 2008 Murashige, Laura From: Janice Bond Oanbond@hawaiilink.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 9:21 AM To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us Subject: Please Override Mayor Kim's Veto of Bill 224 Dear Hawaii County Council Member I was disappointed to learn that Mayor Kim has chosen to veto Hawaii County's Bill 224. I applaud you for showing true leadership and vision in passing Bill 224. I strongly urge you continue to show your leadership and override Mayor Kim?s veto. The veto of this Bill is inconsistent with previous statements and budget priorities relating to health care made by County Administration. By vetoing Bill 224, Mayor Kim is perpetuating the health care crisis we are facing today. Bill 224 is about everyone?s right to breathe clean air and significantly reducing the toxic litter at our County parks, beaches and recreational facilities. Bill 224 will still allow individuals to smoke and use tobacco products ? just not at our beautiful parks, beaches and facilities where keiki and their ohana visit and would like to fully enjoy. I have worked with tobacco control since its early beginnings as Kauai's first Tobacco Coalition Coordinator and sat for six years on the Tobacco Trust Fund Advisory Board as the only neighbor island member. I was also a co-vice chair of the state coaliton with Dr. Elizabeth Tam. I started Hawaii's first teen coaliton S.H.O.U.T. (Students of Hawaii Opposing Use of Tobacco) and chaperoned 15 teens from Hawaii (some from the Big Island) to the first TRUTH Summit in Seattle, WA. We printed the first "Smokers Talk" booklet of stories of struggles and successes of smokers for four printings. Hawaii should be proud of its accomplishments in tobacco control. Please take your stand on health for your citizens. Please accept this as written testimony in support of this bill and override the veto.
