Subject: Bill 48
tr
U,
Honorable Members of the Government Operations and External Affairs Committee,
I am writing to express concern in developing another government agency, as proposed in Bill 48, which
proposes the creation of the Office of Sustainability,Climate, Equity, and Resilience (OSCER) in Hawai'i
County. I believe that this bill promotes efforts that could be included in existing departments within the
County or State government. REAL community needs need to be addressed on this island first, which are
many. I believe we DO NOT need another agency, with more bureaucracy towards addressing the
challenges posed by climate change, promoting sustainability, and building resilience in our community.
Another agency will cost dollars, tax dollars, which would be better spent on the real issues affecting the
residents of our Island Ohana and our Aina.
Thank you for your attention for my concern on this matter.
Sincerely,
Skip White
