Topic: Support County Resolution No. 81-09 and Oppose HB 1226
Aloha Chair and Members,
Please Support County Resolution No. 81-09 and Oppose HB 1226!
HB 1226 states that NO County or State Agency has the right to regulate Genetically
Engineered (GE) agricultural crops by passing Ordinances that would protect farmers,
crops and citizens, including future labeling of GE products.
Resolution No. 81-09, introduced by Council Member Pete Hoffman, opposes HQ
1226 and Supports Local Governance and our right to Home Rule. Do not allow
special interests to muzzle the Council. Do not allow the powers of the Council to be
diminished by the Hawaii Legislature.
Sincerely,
Julie Jacobson, Former Hawaii County Council Member 1998-2002
Comm. No. 2Z~. l
