Subject: Strong Support of Resolution 234-25
Aloha Chair Villegas and. members of the Policy Committee on Environmental and Natural Resource Management,
My name is Mary Kok and I am urging the state to ensure the health and safety of Hawai'i Island residents by requesting
the military cease all bombing and desecration activities at Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA); reject land swaps and lease
renewals without strict stipulations, and conduct a full Ka Pa'akai Analysis of the area.
I ask for your support in approving Resolution 234-25, which sends a powerful message that Hawai'i County stands with
its people —families, communities, cultural practitioners, and environmental stewards who have long raised concerns
about PTA's short- and long-term impacts.
Mahalo Mary Kok
