Subject: Opposing bill 47
Aloha my name is Megan Jacob I run a successful Hosted Airbnb in Kona. I pay all my taxes and follow all the rules.This
new bill is giving my family and I extreme anxiety seeing how strict and ridiculous all the rules and changes they are
trying to make. Running a business is hard enough here with how expensive groceries are and utilities and mortgages
and now they want to add all these extra fines and permits to buy it's just too much. Please just let us live our lives and
take care of our families that's the Aloha way not making it so hard to just live. I'm currently taking a break from cleaning
with a Baby on the boob writing this email to try and protect our rights.As a homeowner running a business to support
my family I shouldn't have to worry about getting it all taken away because I forgot to fill out a form or didn't receive all
the proper new paper work being introduced.Thank you for listening and I appreciate the ability to make money hosting
beautiful travelers from around the world. It's hard work please don't make it harder and more complicated than it
needs to be.
Thanks so much
Megan Jacob
