Subject: Please place 2% Land Fund on ballot!
I URGE you to HONOR the WILL of the people!
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,
Name: Rosemary Alles
