<br /> <br /> r <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Most people who drink at County parks end up driving afterwards. Unlike a <br /> <br /> license liquor establishment, there is nobody to prevent an intoxicated person from being <br /> <br /> served another beer. When these people get into their vehicles, they endanger not only <br /> <br /> themselves, but everyone else on the roads at that time. Many still remember one of the <br /> <br /> worst motor vehicle crashes on this island which took the life of 4 teens who left <br /> <br /> Kolekole Beach Park in 1996. <br /> <br /> Alcohol-related problems severely impact the quality of life for many legitimate <br /> <br /> park users and have caused many to feel unsafe while at our County parks. Our parks <br /> <br /> should be for recreation and not imbibing. For this reason, we support the intent of this <br /> <br /> bill and ask that it be amended to cover this park. <br /> <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to give testimony in support of this bill. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> JAY T. KIMURA <br /> Prosecuting Attorney <br />
