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 Hawai'i. Please make it a permanent, enforceable point of
reference in the General Plan.
Mahalo,
C. Yamamoto
