From: kanaloaleohano To: WPCtestimonv; LPCtestimonv; Kimball. Heather;Council Testimony; Planning General Plan; Planning Internet Mail; Roy.Alex Subject: TESTIMONY regarding PROPOSED general plan for HAWAI'I County/Island Date: Monday,January 13, 2025 5:52:49 PM 1. The entire thing needs to be re-done by people who love people -- not profit, that is by people who work from the SPIRIT of the State Constitution section 5-7.5 regarding ALOHA SPIRIT. To quote: "Aloha" means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. The current draft involves people in power who are seeking to line their own pockets. Stop. Seriously, dump the whole thing. IT IS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY SOMEONE IN THE PAY OF Blackrock, Vanguard, Gates, Soros, or any number of other disgusting, money-printing entities. The core of the document is: "The County`s desired land use development pattern." THIS IS NOT FOR THE COUNTY TO DECIDE !!!! As noted in 411 below: Our micro- climates are so vast and varied there is NO CHANCE that anyone at the County level would know what needs to go where. THAT CAN ONLY BE LEARNED BY LIVING ON, BY WALKING, THE LAND. Leave people to make their OWN DECISIONS about what to do with their own land. 2. The State, and the County, have NO RI HT TO ACQUIRE LAND !! and any reference to such in this proposed document should be removed!!! And, the State has NO RIGHT to any County property, and none should be handed over without agreement of ancestral owners and local residents, and NO HARBOR SHOULD BE HANDED TO THE STATE. Remove any reference to "Hawai`i State Wildlife Action Plan" as it has NO RELEVANCE for our island and the State should NOT BE MANAGING our island. 3. There is no such thing as "climate change" caused by humans, and anything referring to such should be entirely removed. https://clintel.org/world-climate, declaration/ Remove ANY reference to "carbon footprint", "net zero", "greenhouse gas", "green infrastructure" and / or "climate adaptation". Remove ANY reference to "decarbonizing." 4. Remove the section 2.2 Biocultural Stewardship Goal (1 .13) because Maui has shown the pain, suffering and financial loss such government over-reach leads to. 5. Remove the section 17.4, Page 111 , because a person applying for land use clearance should not involve the government attempting to grab their land.
