Arakaki, Chairman <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Mr. Arakaki: <br /> The undersigned has not picked up his pen regarding statements and actions <br /> purportedly said and /or taken by members of the Council for the past two <br /> to three years. <br /> As a significant taxpayer and a land owner on this Island, I must take <br /> strong exception to Rothstein, Graham, et al. I would have thought after <br /> all these years, you folks would have understood that Rothstein et al have <br /> only one agenda, and that is to be in the Press as much as possible, which <br /> perhaps offsets his inability to make a living. Several years back it was <br /> apparent that he was going to take over as the negative commentator on <br /> everything on this Island hum Ross, who apparently got his second wind <br /> and is going after several of the landowners on this Island. Just check <br /> his record, not one positive thing to say about any development in twelve <br /> years. <br /> The items, not listed in any priority but in the past several months are <br /> in my opinion going to really bring this Island it its knees, and without <br /> question will drive children from here the Big Island to the Mainland, <br /> etc. <br /> (A) Zoning Code has been up for change for years. It was finally halted <br /> by Rothstein and a Judge who handles, for the most part, traffic <br /> tickets. The bottom line with these two is they have never had to <br /> make a payroll and never will. <br /> (B) One would think that when JAL was bringing in a flight a day to this <br /> Island and many more to other Islands, attempts to get a development <br /> started in the lava below Kona Surf, this project was to be done by <br /> JAL and Mr. Lyle Anderson, who is the premier Golf Course developer <br /> in the world today. Yet they had to go through hundreds of hearings, <br /> i.e., one hundred and thirty -eight and I have no doubt that based on <br /> restrictions against them, JAL will not survive this particular <br /> development. 85 %057 <br /> Comm.
