RE: Resolution 169-07
I?m writing to you in order to express my support for Resolution 169-07, The Keolalani
Hanoa Resolution. I just graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth and had
recently had the opportunity to visit the big island, Ka?u and Punalu?u.
The time I spent on the big island was an eye opening experience. I was able to see the
beauty that the island possesses and also how much the land means to the local Hawaiians.
When I heard that developers wanted to replace the land with resorts, it made me sick to
think that the land and the lives of locals would change for the worse because of greedy
developers.
The time I spent in Ka?u and Punalu?u was one of the best and most enlightening times in
my life and I hope to bring my children there one day to experience the black sand and
open landscape and tell them the things I learned while I was there. Please do whatever
you can to allow me this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thiel
Duluth, Minnesota
