Home

look at Kahalu‘u and you look at Magic Sand and you look at all the beach, all the coastal areas, we have earthquakes, we had all of these things. They still never finish up with some of the jobs, and one of them is to do with the hospital, okay? Now, when the hospital, when they had the hospital, they took the people down to the hotel to stay. I have a witness that works in the hospital, and it went cause the main concern about the people, because how are you going to deal with all of this? And even to do with the marathon, the ironthon and all of these, you got a lot of people that got, they never finish the race, they all end up in the hospital for whatever reason that they got. Now, another this thing is no one is not even with the State or the County or the public, but it all falls on the people that doing all of these events. Now what are you guys doing with all of these events? Gotta be pono. Gotta be right. Not because only a certain family can have this. We are talking about now Hawai‘i trying to come back as a Kingdom. That’s who I represent. I represent Hawai‘i Kingdom, the whole archipelago. Everything over here belongs to us, because the government, when they gave the lands to the people, the government was giving to the king, to the chiefs, and to the kānaka maoli, the kuleana lands. And it’s our responsibility. It’s not the County or the State or the Federal; it belongs in the people, the elders from there. Every one of us guys get one voice today. When I grew up – I’m going to make 74 next week by the way, okay? So, what I’m trying to say is when the, I hope that my kids no need to have to go pay for go to the park, if they like going to get married, or go rent one place. This is all coming to all of that. You look at Kahalu‘u and you look at Ho‘okena, you look at all of parks, eh, our people cannot even go over there for go camping anymore. All the things are sold out to the mainland people that comes here on vacation. So, you, I mean, all of these things have a mean effect on the people and on the highway, on the airport and everything. We only got two roads. Oh, thank you guys very much. A hui hou. Malama pono. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Aloha.
