a, our testimony list is growing by the minute. So we have 20 individuals, 21 individuals who <br />have signed up for testimony, and as the Chair I do reserve the right to limit testimony if its <br />redundant or if its not relevant. But we want to hear your voice, and thats what these public <br />meetings are for. So I want tocall up, Ill call up maybe five at a time, and well go from there. <br />So Michael Silva, and you can just kind of sit down and line yourself up. John Replogle? <br />REPLOGLE:Replogle. <br />ALAMEDA:Replogle. Forgive me if I torture your name. Franco Longakit, Don <br />Sakata, and Kevin Davis. <br />Also, for the public, Ill be, Mr. Torigoe is our Corp. Counsel and he really knows protocol; and <br />so when I turn to him for advice it doesnt mean Im talking secrets.

And what huge develop-, developer <br />will come in and overprice it where its way out of our reach? I have five children that attend <br />Kamehameha Schools and Id like for them to have a future. And without this project being <br />passed, I cant see ever being able to afford to get a farm for my family. Thats basically it. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. <br />SIRACUSA:Are you one of the licensees who is currently farming on the property? <br />DAVIS:No, no, no. <br />SIRACUSA:Have you applied for a piece of the land to farm on? <br />DAVIS:Yes, yes, I have. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. And are you saying that you are supporting this project? <br />DAVIS:Yes, Maam. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. I wanted that clear. Thank you. <br />DAVIS:Thank you. <br />17 <br /> <br />
