Message:
I love the ban on roadside herbicides. This will not only stop the poisoning of our
environments but will keep the erosions of our roadsides way down. Grass and vegetation will
keep the soil stable even during heavy rain when it is just mowed Mowing is the way to go!
Hawaii County Council

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,
