Feb.16,2004 <br /> To: Hawaii County Council <br /> From: Mike Sakamoto <br /> 331 Lu Hau Place <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Subject: OPPOSITION TO Bill #356: <br /> Dear County Council Members; <br /> My name is Mike Sakamoto and I'm a fisherman and outdoors <br /> man and have lived in Hawaii ail my life. And all I'm asking is <br /> <br /> to be allowed access to the shoreline to fish. <br /> At present the people of Hawaii are being inundated by other <br /> Statewide legislative bills trying to keep us from the shoreline <br /> and the ocean. Bills such as Senate Bill 78 introduced by our <br /> own Senator Lorraine Inouye, would effectively shut down a <br /> minimum of 20% of our shoreline from the high water mark out <br /> <br /> to three miles around our island...forever. <br /> Then we have House Bills 131, 170 and 796. House Bill 796 <br /> <br /> would attempt to close 42 shoreline miles in the Kona area to all <br /> <br /> fishing out to three miles also. <br /> Now we have private gated communities like Kahuku Ranch <br /> <br /> which charges our people $300.00 for a weekend entry. This is <br /> <br /> a weeks pay for some. When will it all end. <br /> You were elected by the Peopie....you should take care of the <br /> People. Thank you, <br /> Mike Sakamoto <br /> Fisherman <br /> Hilo,Hawaii <br /> Comm. No. j' • ( <br /> ~rf. To: ProsWM QWNG <br /> <br />
