Arakaki <br /> Chairman, County Council <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Re: Bill #62: Relating to the Post Harvest Treatment Facility Project <br /> Dear Councilman Arakaki: <br /> My name is John Kai and 1 am the current President of the Hawaii Island Portuguese <br /> Chamber of Commerce (HIPCC), as well as an Investment Advisor with PaineWebber, <br /> Inc. I am writing to you to reiterate the HIPCC's position in support of Bill #62. <br /> Our organization feels strongly that this project will greatly enhance the attractiveness <br /> of our locally grown produce. It will help to strengthen the image that Hawaii, as a part <br /> of the United States of America, regards the treatment of it's food supply very seriously <br /> and that fruits and vegetables imported from our Islands are safe for consumption. <br /> We also believe that this project will provide an opportunity for the family farmer to <br /> make a viable living and be a contributing member of our economy. The strength and <br /> <br /> fiscal well being of our community lies in the hands of the small business owner and an <br /> agricultural farmer would fall into this category. <br /> I urge you to recognize the growing support for this very important project. The HIPCC <br /> kindly asks that you vote in favor of this critical bill. <br /> Aloha & Muito Obrigado (Thank You Very Much), <br /> Hawaii Island Portuguese Chamber of Commerce <br /> Joh K.
