To: Council Testimony
Subject: Bill 194 Testimony
Aloha Hawai'i County Council Members,
My testimony is in support of Bill 194. I am asking for your support to pass this bill. Please strongly
consider voting in favor of overriding Mayor Roth's veto.
It is imperative that the decision to allow rezoning extensions (along with many other protocols currently set
in place) not rest with one individual but rather be a public process where you as our district representatives
as well as the community have input. Without this measure, special interests namely developers and
corporations can continue to influence land use on our island directly contributing to the housing crisis and
displacement of local people and Native Hawaiians.
Please, I urge you to put the power back into your hands that will be influenced by the mana'o of our
community members.
Please pass Bill 194 again.
