Subject: Testimony for Communication 563
Aloha Hawaii County Councilmembers,
This letter is being submitted in opposition to the nomination of Shane Vincent to the
Leeward Planning Commission. According to the communication submitted by Mayor Roth,
the nominee is a fifty-year resident of Hawaii who has been involved as a project manager,
development manager, business director, and project engineer for various businesses and
residential projects. The letter also mentions that Mr. Vincent is interested in "promoting
economic growth and development in Hawaii in a sustainable way."
Unfortunately, due to Mr. Vincent's absence at the Planning Committee meeting where his
nomination was first heard, we are unclear what Mr. Vincent means by wanting to support
sustainable economic growth and development. Like previous failed nominations to the
Leeward Planning Commission, Mr. Vincent represents a special interest as his own
company, Vincent Construction Management, is closely tied to development and
construction in the very region he would be making recommendations and
decisions on as a commissioner. The mayor should consider putting forward nominees
who do not have any conflicts of interest, whether actual or perceived. Land use decisions
are extremely important and they start with Mayor Roth making more responsible choices for
nominations to our planning commissions.
Please vote NO on Communication 563. Thank you.
