Mahalo. <br /> August 26;, 2004 <br /> Aloha, Co ncil members: <br /> You are eing asked to review Bill 178, which Mayor Rim, after <br /> months of deliberation, has vetoed. <br /> First, vow for this veto has been scheduled without <br /> Qf_West Hawaii residents. ~p~ 3pnarently your <br /> Council Chairman Arakaki's willful and unfair attempt to <br /> cut West Hawaii residents out of the process of democracy at <br /> county level is abominable. We trust that, on Sept. 1st, you will <br /> defer this vote until the September 15th hearing in Rona, which is <br /> well within the time limit prescribed by law, and the only action <br /> which would reflect integrity on the part of this government body. <br /> Regarding the veto vote itself, comments from councilmen regarding <br /> continued' support of this bill are not convincing reasons for the <br /> latest d aft of this unpopular bill to be passed. None of those <br /> reasons utweighs the preponderance of information which has come <br /> to light against this bill, including the veto due to traffic <br /> concerns. Nor does any mitigation or explanation given thus far <br /> outweigh the public outcry against Bill 178, which includes issues <br /> relatP~l o degraded quality of life and decimation of natural ' <br /> resources which will affect this island if Cliftos' development <br /> plan was o unfold. <br /> T+~hop~ the Mayor's decision gives you Haase in your support <br /> this We ask that you look within yourselves and the <br /> community to work toward more fitting use of this land that can <br /> create a win-win situation for all parties, as has occurred at <br /> next doo Rohanaiki. We ask that you look within the law to know <br /> that ~~well within the law ~,Q_ deny this BroPOSa1. The paper <br /> tiger co ,currency clause of Draft 5 of Bill 178, though a step <br /> Comm.
