Dear Hawaii County Council Members,
I Oppose this bill for several reasons.

3. Removes important tools and choices to combat invasive plants and prenet noxius
weeds and invasive species.
4. I'm unwilling to bear the Cost associated with this Bill as a taxpayer.

Please consider the impacts of passing unfunded and un-researched Bills. What will be the real
i
cost to Hawaii County taxpayers $500,000 or$5 Million; The costs and impacts have not been
considered before submitting this Bill.
Mahalo,
