Subject: In Support of letting voters vote on 2% for Open Spaces
Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council:
> PLEASE PUT THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT AND LET HAWAII COUNTY VOTERS DECIDE
> IN NOVEMBER TO MODIFY THE EXISTING Open Space and Natural Resources
> ORDINANCE BY MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:
> 1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open Space > and
> Natural resource acquisition and
> 2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund.
> WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO HONOR over 9,000 people who have signed this > Petition.
> Citizens have been frustrated by conflicting instructions from the County > as
> to the timelines and the stringent application of the arbitrary and
> ambiguous criteria that the County has imposed on this process. We ask > the
> County to include signatures of voters that:
> 1- forgot to write the st. ave. or highway suffix as part of their > residence
> addresses
> 2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column.
> Both of these criteria are clearly implied. We believe that the County
> should be using petition information to qualify signatures not looking for
> insignificant reasons to disqualify voter's signatures.
> Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now!
> Sincerely,
> Pamela Hicks
