1 bate doubts about the objectivity of those who advised you that the citizens
of Kona approve of your ideas expressed in Resolutions 216 and Bill 210.
First, we might easily lose the Federal Funds approved for Kona not some
other area'
Second, the Federal Funds were based on 1.5 Million county contributions
and $5 Million Federal contributions-the $3 Million road proposed by you
would certainl}~ lack the features that make the parkway proposal so popular;
Third the possibility that the lesser road being part of the entire parkway
might result in denial of federal Funds for the portion from Royal Poinciana
to Keauhou.
In the absence of awell-planned way to use Federal funds to complete,
within five years, that last portion; and upgrade the portion you propose to
build for $3 million, please vote down these dangerous proposals.
