I'm angry that MY (supposedly) government wants to impose ridiculous laws upon me and my neighbors that have no justification in anything but usurping our rights to control our own lives (in aspects that have no bearing whatsoever on others) without government interference. These new provisions of a revised building code would be both costly and totally unnecessary. And the idea that people choosing of their own free will to live is some non - conforming structure would be subjected to CRIMINAL penalties is preposterous and an affront to anyone in this country who believes in the freedoms granted to citizens under the Constitution. Please, vote to DEFEAT Bill 270. Vote to REMOVE section 5 -48 -5 on Page 17 that changes infractions from a civil to a criminal offense. Vote to INCLUDE a provision that should this Bill 270 pass, an alternative exemption for rural building would be possible, i.e. The inclusion of an amendment stating "adoption of this regulation does not limit or prevent the adoption of alternative codes and building regulations by Hawaii County, nor does it require a future amendment to this bill." If this unwarranted usurpation of power and government intrusion does pass, I will work to defeat any and all council members who have supported it. Thank you, George Pace 9/20/2011 Comm.
