Chung, Chair <br /> Committee on Finance, Hawaii County Council <br /> <br /> Re: Letter of support for Resolution No. 328-98, Communication No. 990 <br /> <br /> Dear Aaron: <br /> <br /> I am the President of the West Hawaii Bar Association, American Bar <br /> Association Delegate-at-Large to the House of Delegates, and former officer of the <br /> Young Lawyers Division of the Hawaii State Bar Association and the ABA. <br /> The bar associations have always supported education to students on the <br /> adverse effects of taking drugs. We have a project called Professionals for Drug Free <br /> Kids (formerly called Drugs and Kids). Although rva do not receive federal funds, the <br /> bar association is keenly aware of the importance of educating our Hawaii keikis on <br /> how to say "no" to drugs. <br /> <br /> I am writing this letter of support in my individual capacity to urge you to <br /> support Resolution No. 32898 to accept federal grant money for marijuana <br /> enforcement. <br /> <br /> We need to be able to take a stand against marijuana use. I am convinced if <br /> our children has the courage to say "no" to smoking a marijuana joint, they will be <br /> able to say "no" to other illegal drugs like methanphetamine, which is a rising drug of <br /> choice for our blue collar workers on the Big Island <br /> Thank you for caring about our keikis on the Big Island. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> MARGARET K.
