Subject: OPPOSE Resolution 22-14 and any Motion to Appeal the Legal Ruling which Invalidated
Ordinance 13-121
Dear Council member,
It is my opinion that any effort to appeal the invalidation of ordinance 13-121 is a waste of time and resources. The
decision of Judge Kurren was based on clear principles of preemption and any attempt to appeal the decision is likely to
fail.
I would urge the council to reject this and any other politically motivated effort to reverse this decision. These efforts
will not measurably improve the lives of any resident of the county and will, in effect, only drain away precious
resources that could be applied to resolving real problems - such as unrelenting property crime, rampant domestic
violence and poor education opportunities.
The Hawaii County Council is hardly the appropriate forum to argue philosophical issues. Your work as members of the
council should be to advance the welfare of the people in this county. I would encourage you to stay focused on that
task and get real about how important on a practical level the presence or absence of GMO actually is to the daily
experience of our average citizens.
Thank you for your time.
