Subject: Support for Bill No. 49
Dear Chair Yoshimoto:
I am a resident of Hilo, a supporter of our local businesses and charitable organizations, a tax payer and
voter. I'm writing to ask that you support Bill No. 49, Relating to Public Access, Open Space, and
Natural Resources Preservation Fund.
By suspending the transfer of 2% of real property tax revenue to the Open Space fund, Mayor Kenoi's
budget is balanced, and ensures the continuation of vital county programs and services. During these
times of economic crisis, it is important to keep people emplyed because workers, like me, contribute to
the economic health of our communities by supporting local businesses and charitable organizations.
It is my understanding that the Mayor's recent revised budget leaves 55 positions unfunded, which will
make it even more difficult for our county to deliver needed government services. Please preserve jobs
and avoid furloughs to give our communities a fighting chance to recover from the economic challenges
we all now face.
The action for in Bill 49 will provide a temporary, but necessary relief. I strongly support Mayor Kenoi
in his request to suspend the transfer of 2% of the real property tax revenue to the Open Space fund.
And, I stronly urge you to support Bill No. 49 too.
Sincerely,
Susan N. Segawa
