consider this. I thank you for your time. Please reject this, and when you do reject this permit <br />by the way, please in your letter state all the reasons why you're rejecting it, because just see <br />Supreme Court case of T -Mobile vs. Roswell. It's very important. We don't want to throw this <br />out. [Inaudible] thank you. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you. <br />MATHEWS: I'll keep this short. This is Byron Mathews. I live nearby on Meaulu Street, and <br />my family lives near that tower, so I oppose it just on health, the noise reasons, and obviously <br />aesthetics, so that's all. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. <br />EVANS: Aloha, I'm Sariah Evans, and I live in Pahoa. First, I'd like to say, "Father, please <br />forgive them for they know not what they are doing." I'm sitting here, and I listen to the people <br />who were born and raised on these islands who have lived here for generations and generations <br />and generations. Some of them from the beginning of time, and you all know how these lands <br />were taken from them. You are some of those families sitting before me. And, you don't even <br />want to look these people in the eye. You want to look somewhere else. You want to read a <br />piece of paper. You want to ignore it, act like it's not happening. Like Mr. Tamashiro always <br />says, we were all born into this. We're waiting for that hero. The hero isn't sitting on this side <br />of the room. The hero has to be on the other side of the room. The one that is causing the <br />oppression and the suppression and the lies to continue. It appalls me what are you teaching <br />your children and your grandchildren. Really? That's, that's what you want to pass along? <br />Once again, Father, please forgive them for they know not what they do. Thank you. <br />TAMASHIRO (from audience): Amen. <br />RAFFIPIY: Mahalo. Any questions from the Commission? All right, thank you very much. <br />Okay, we have, I have here—you gotta excuse me if I mispronounce your names. I cannot read <br />some of the writingsKuulani Muise [mispronounced]? <br />MUISE (from audience): Muise. <br />RAFFIPIY: Muise, sorry. Michael Mentnech and Laura Acasio. Please raise your right hands. <br />Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: Yes. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. I'll start from your far right. <br />MENTNECH: Okay. <br />RAFFIPIY: And please state your names, speak directly into the microphone, and where you <br />live, and you can proceed with your testimony, please. Be mindful again with our 3 -minute rule. <br />EXHIBIT B <br />20 <br />
