From: Roger Christie <br /> To: WPCtestimonv; LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Testimony of January 16,2025 for General Plan 2045 <br /> Date: Thursday,January 16,2025 9:31:08 AM <br /> Attachments: Adobe Scan Nov 27.2023(5).odf <br /> Good morning and aloha! <br /> It's my opinion that the Hawai'i County General Plan 2045, although supported by many good <br /> people with honorable motives, is 'frog in the pot' governance with the heat turned up a lot. <br /> Some of us frogs are very uncomfortable with its dominating, controlling details from the <br /> U.N. and other globalists and we appreciate the opportunity to voice our concerns in an effort <br /> to reject it. By rejecting the plan I support the spirit and the letter of the Declaration of <br /> Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution which seem to be lost in the many <br /> overreaching details of the current plan. <br /> My concerns include: <br /> 1. Changing land use definitions and zoning without the full knowledge and approval of <br /> property owners <br /> 2. Regulating off-grid living <br /> 3. Further stressing the electric grid and increasing the costs of electricity <br /> 4. Giving outside "stakeholders" undue influence in local affairs <br /> I believe that any plan for our future must include the 1993 Apology Bill which clearly <br /> exposes the theft of the Kingdom of Hawai'i by the U.S.A. in 1893. <br /> his://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-107/pdf/STATUTE-107-Pg 1510.pdf <br /> I believe that any plan for our future must include the provable history of our happy days and <br /> enormous backyard wealth generated here by a robust Cannabis economy in the 1980's. <br /> In 120 days we can have a world famous, multimillion dollar Cannabis hemp harvest for <br /> health, wealth, happiness, holiness and renewable ag economy. We simply need more <br /> freedom and less oversight, more freedom and fewer grants. <br /> The plan must include that Hawai'i County helped to destroy that safe, natural and renewable <br /> economy and lifestyle and replaced it with poverty, meth, homelessness and crime which <br /> exists to this day. When the marijuana eradication program was proven to be the cause of the <br /> troubles the county hid the study and continued the disastrous program until I shut it down <br /> with an impeachment lawsuit in 1999. The county government is not to be trusted and needs <br /> to listen to the guidance of the citizens and not globalists, not SMART City advocates and <br /> other outside "stakeholders". <br /> We the people need, want, deserve and demand that our individual rights and freedoms to be <br /> strengthened, not reduced by the plan as it exists. <br /> P.S. The censorship of my friend Megan Isaac in a recent hearing was unacceptable. <br />
