The county doesn't seem to have enough labor as it is to handle all the work that needs done.
I'm sure this is due to fiscal constraints. Where is the money going to come from to pay for all
the additional labor to manually control the weeds and overgrowth?
Hawaii County Council
STRONGLY OPPOSE Bill 101 - Relating to Herbicide Use
Dear Hawaii County Council Members,
I Oppose this bill for several reasons.
1. Bans the Use of Producst to Control the Albezia Trees
2. Bans Product that help limit habitate for LIttle Fire Ant Populations
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
cost to Hawaii County taxpayers $500,000 or$5 Million; The costs and impacts have not been
considered before submitting this Bill.
Mahalo,
Chris Becker
