Subject: Please SUPPORT Bill 66
Aloha a Chair Ashley Kierkiewicz, Vice Chair Michelle Galimba, and members of the Policy Committee on Planning, Land
Use, and Economic Development,
I am in SUPPORT of Bill 66.
If we want a truly sustainable future, we must commit to it in writing. The General Plan should clearly state climate
resilience as a core value and guiding principle. Without this commitment, climate deniers and short-sighted policies give
developers a free pass to prioritize unchecked development over preservation, balance, and the well-being of our
communities. Climate resilience is not optional —it's our safeguard for the people, culture, and environment of Hawaii.
Please make it a permanent, enforceable point of reference in the General Plan.
Mahalo,
Monica Stone
