BILLIAN: Hi, my name is Theresa. I've lived on this island for 43 years. I raised my kids here. I have a grandson. I'm retired. I have a physical disability. I prepared my property to retire on and then big business comes into my neighborhood, and I think that there should be a law that could stop this seriously health defying big business from building in our communities. It's not like a bad neighbor moves in. It's serious. It's our health, and I don't believe they did a project study to see if there was a cave below this. I saw the driller there for 3 or 4 months. Never started up. And Kazumura Cave is known to run underneath that area. So, that's the considerations I think our government should be more educated about what they're letting into our communities. Thank you. CLARKSON: Any questions from the Commissioners for the people testifying today? If not, thank you for your testimony. Please be seated. Are there any other people who wish to testify on this matter in the audience? If not, I'll ask for a motion to SCHISZLER (from audience): Can I make—can I make one more statement I forgot to address? The person who dropped this petition, we were not notified of that, and we would like to take on that role as, and pay the fee and become the contested case people so we can continue to fight this tower. Thank you. Sorry, I forgot to address that, but [inaudible]. CLARKSON: I've been informed that the deadline for an application for a contested case hearing has passed. SCHISZLER (from audience): [inaudible] we were not notified that it was dropped so, we feel like we're now, we were left hanging, you know. We were not notified of this, so you should give me a chance [inaudible]. CLARKSON: If you—I've been informed that if you had wanted to continue with the contested case hearing, you should have joined Norine Fitzgerald's application for a contested case. SCHISZLER (from audience): We were not given that opportunity [inaudible] [Ms. Hata-Finley asked Ms. Schiszler to use the microphone.] SCHISZLER: I was not informed of that. I was told that I'd have to pay a separate fee of my own, another $200 of my own to file my own contested case. I was not told that we could join Norine's. We were not told that. CLARKSON: Oh, you still would have had to pay the fee. SCHISZLER: Okay, well CLARKSON: —I'll let our Corporation Counsel just explain the procedures if she's willing. Hold on a second. HALL: Can we take a recess and then I'll find it and then we'll come back, yeah? EXHIBIT D 10
