Subject: Bill 79 -An Ordinance Amending Chapter 14 of the Hawaii County Code, by Adding a
New Article Relating to Prohibition of Genetically Modified Organisms.
I Strongly Oppose Bill 79
My Name is Elton Mow and I am an orchid grower in Kapoho. I support ALL of Agriculture and the need for
Science,Technology and Innovation as Tools.
This Bill 79 would handicap future innovation and restrict progress in Agriculture. We need the Freedom of Choice to
use the Tools available to Us.
Hawaii should band together and plan for the future on how the community can better sustane itself. It will take a
combined effort of all facets of the community
to encourage Agriculture from Backyard Gardens to a Community Gardens to a Viable Business.
