Re: Sunuort of Bill 78
Date: 5/18/OS
The purpose of this letter is to support Bi1178 for the following reasons:
1. That $ill 78 will provide monies that will serve as a vehicle to acquire and
develop parks, open space, conservation and water shed areas for future
generations to come;
2. That Bi1178 will serve as an impetus for other entities (public and private)
to provide monies as matching funds for future acquisition of lands for the
public;
3. That Bill 78 follows both Maui and Kauai's who have a similar Bill which
has worked successfully to preserve lands for public use;
4. That Bill 78 will provide the means, the ability and the forum of our
taxpayers to dcc~ide which property can be set aside for their public use;
S. That as the Attorney for the Intermediate Court ofAppeals/Supreme Court
for the PASH case, I fmd it necessary to continue to preserve access rights
to the mountains and ocean as will be provided by Bill 78;
6. That as a Board Member of E Mau Na Ala Hele, a Hawaiian trails
restoration group on the Island of Hawaii, this Bill will help to protect the
access rights of our public to the beaches and the mountains;
7. That as a Native Hawaiian, I find it essential to preserve our Hawaiian
historical and cultural sites; Further that Bi1178 will serve as a means to
protects these sites in perpetuity;
8. That in summary, I support and pass Bill 78 in its' final reading.
