heard her, and she made us believe that she was going to help us. We wanted so badly to believe that. I grew up on that shoreline. I fished on the shoreline. Throw net on the shoreline. I learned everything on that shoreline. We know every trail like the back of our hand. Blindfolded you can still find the trail. So why? Why do you move it? Why do you make us go where there's logs from Hu Honua? It's a fire hazard. Like why? Who in here can listen to us? Please, my mom fought this. Now I'm fighting this. Are my kids going to have to fight this too? That's not fair. We are the people. Our footsteps are there. The same footsteps our ancestors made. Listen to my voice. Enough is enough. Stop taking from us. Community zero. Developers 10 million. Please hear our voice. Enough already. Somebody on here, please have a heart. Let us keep what is ours, so we can still feed our families. Thank you. AU: Thank you Ms. Nakasato. At this time, I'd like to take our final testifier in the Zoom room. I believe it's Greg Vlasek, are you there? VLASEK: Aloha, good morning. I am here, I'm actually listening in as an applicant for item 2 on the agenda. So, I'm just listening at this point. Thank you. AU: Okay, so I believe Maija that we have no more Zoom testifiers? JACKSON: That's correct. AU: Okay, so I believe we have 3 more testifies at the Aupuni Center. So, at this time I'd like to call up Jaesrick-Lee Medeiros-Garcia.
