should not have to pay the consequences for those who are not. Creating <br /> more rules to enforce when you cannot hold people accountable for the rules <br /> you already have seems counterproductive and foolish. <br /> Our county council is supposed to represent all of us—including those of us <br /> who count on the income from our STVRs to augment our retirement income. <br /> The pushback against all of this legislation has been palpable and powerful, but <br /> most of us feel as if our representatives are not listening. Heather Kimball is <br /> hellbent on soldiering on, fueled by her erroneous belief that she is going to <br /> solve the housing shortage by penalizing us. Sometimes it is wiser to listen to <br /> the concerns of your constituency rather than just doubling down on your own <br /> agenda. This new legislation, should it pass, will be crippling to hosts and will <br /> have a negative impact on the economy of the Big Island. It also sends the <br /> wrong message to visitors who want to spend some time in the Aloha state. <br /> Please enforce the rules you have and don't penalize us for following those <br /> rules and for creating a successful business that supplements our retirement <br /> income. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Don and Kerrill Kephart <br /> donkephart(@earthlink.net <br /> 808-882-7321 <br />
