Mr. Aaron Chung
Chairman, Finance Committee
Hawaii County Council
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Dear Councilman Chung:
My name is Raymond Tanouye. I am a life long resident of Hilo and
the President of the Hawaii Tropical Flower Council, a statewide
organization of 600 members composed of tropical flower growers and
shippers. On behalf of the Tropical Flower Council, I urge your support for
Resolutt o f ~ ~ Communication Mwhich will accept federal funds for
the marijuana eradication and drug education programs.
The products of illegal marijuana cultivation inadvertedly finds its way
into our schools and general public. This is one of the basic ills of our
society. We need to have it stopped. Further, illegal cultivation also occurs
on some of our private lands. It is unthinkable and unacceptable that these
people would knowingly do these things. I will not burden you with obvious
details but leave you with our request to please accept the federal funds.
Thank you.
