Hawaii County Bill 101 - Relating to Herbicides
7-1
STRONGLY OPPOSE
ca
N.)
Dear Hawaii County Council Members,
I Oppose this bill for several reasons.
1 . Bans products needed for Hawaii County to control invasive species and plants.
2. The cost, it's unfair to force taxpayers to pay for a Bill that has not been thought
out.
3. It's a precursor to a larger ban; targeted at agriculture and turfgrass. We cannot
afford to lose another farmer over bad bills.
Please consider the impacts of passing a bill of this magnitude without a plan! According
to the Hawaii County Parks & Recreation Director, this Bill will cost more than $14 Million
dollars annually...
VOTE NO ON BILL 101 - The costs and impacts have not been considered before this bill
was submitted.
Mahalo,
Leif Andersen
