N�./ (�� Ref. To: Ref. Date )UN 1 9 2012 6/18/2012 Date: 6/16/2012 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. Name: Allan Banga Address: 13-3571 Kumakahi Street, Pahoa, Hi. 96778 Phone: 808-965-9062
