<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ~a <br /> August 22, 2006 C7 'Tti3 N4 <br /> Council Chair and Council Members, - <br /> 22 Aupuni st. <br /> Hilo, HI, 96720 <br /> <br /> Dear councilman Higa, <br /> My name is Keisha Bondaug, I am a senior at Hilo High School. We have been ' <br /> discussing Bill 300. I don't really get why you guys want to ban drinking at the public <br /> beaches and parks. PUBLIC is the key word, the beaches and parks are open to the <br /> public for enjoyment and a place to just kick back with family and friends. <br /> I understand when you guys mentioned the fact that people can get out of control <br /> when they drink at the beaches but how many times were there ever huge fights that <br /> endangered other people? How much times did the police go to the beaches because of <br /> someone acting out of control? If this bill passes then the police would have to be at the <br /> beaches and parks at all times. Making alcohol illegal at the beach isn't going to stop <br /> people from drinking there; it's only going to cause way more problems and confusion. <br /> Having angry people at the beaches isn't what people want. If this bill is passed it's like <br /> you are taking away peoples rights. People have rights to drink at the beach, if they get <br /> out of control and start disrupting the public then get the cops down there and take that <br /> person away. Don't punish so many people over someone else's mistake. <br /> Please take my thoughts about Bill 300 into consideration and think about what I <br /> said. People would be so much happier and there wouldn't have to be cops on patrol at <br /> the beaches at all times. Mahalo for your time. <br /> <br /> Always,'Keieisha Bondaug <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm Nb. 1 ~ • J 1 <br /> Ref.
