Yy4.✓
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,
Veronica Ohara
