The <br /> County should have done this 20 years ago; if we wait much longer what land <br /> there is left will be too expensive for the County to purchase. <br /> So, I don't care if it is Bill 78 or some other means, as long as it doesn't - <br /> get discussed, studied, revised, and debated for more months. <br /> <br /> And, I don't believe that 2% of all property tax collected: is an excessive <br /> amount to set aside. If the Charter prohibits use of property taxes for <br /> <br /> this purpose, please find some other means to GUARANTEE that an equivalent <br /> annual amount will be used exclusively for acquisition of conservation - , <br /> lands, and do it NOW. This is too important ±o leave to chance. <br /> Mahalo for your hard work and concern, <br /> Roberta ("Ruby") Tzimeas <br /> Kailua-Kona <br /> Ref. To; <br /> Red. ~®t~ <br /> i <br /> <br />
