Letter in Objection to Bill No. 256, Draft 2
My name is Allan Banga and I am a resident of Leilani Estates. I have lived here
for 7 years and am very concerned about the proposed amendment to the
Geothermal Relocation and Community Benefits Program.
We ask that you please listen to the long-time residents of the community and
vote against Bill 256, Draft 2. The financial impact to Puna homeowners will be
devastating. Property values will be negatively impacted. We have a hard time
getting homeowners insurance now, and if this bill passes, we won't be able to
get insurance at all. For many of us, especially the retirees, that is a financial crisis
we cannot afford.
There has been no proof that the geothermal plant has impacted our lifestyles or
our health, and until you can prove otherwise, we don't want to move, lose our
insurance, or have you devalue our homes.
We are voters and responsible residents of the County of Hawaii, and feel very
betrayed that our County Council members would even consider a bill like this
that has such a huge impact on the Puna District.
Please vote against Bill No. 256, Draft 2.
