City Council emergency meeting testimony
Date MAR 2 0 2020
To: Council Testimony
Dear City Council,
You've asked for testimony regard the current pandemic and thoughts of how to better govern the
response necessary to provide safety for all of us currently here on these beautiful islands. I could wax
poetically about the need to institute stricter protocols and protest that I feel the governor and mayor of
Hawaii seem disconnected in placing everyone at risk for the sake of tourist but I'll try to stick to facts.
There is currently over 1.3 million Hawaiians and residents living on the various Hawaiian islands and the
infections that are known as of 3/20 are 26 which has doubled in 3 days. The number of tourist per the
DOA and DOT currently(http://dbedt.hawaii.gov/visitor/daily-passenger-counts/total-passenger-counts/) is
at 19,553 which comprises less than 2% of the population yet the current governor and Mayor Kim seem
to be hesitant to consider the safety of the majority in favor of a tourist minority from which the
introduction of this pandemic to Hawaii came from.
It's this simple by example: when a killer is running loose in neighborhoods there is a lockdown issued for
the area to not allow the killer to have shelter and hide. This pandemic is a certified killer yet it's being
catered to by our government to continue roaming and killing. If their agenda isn't to lockdown all of
Hawaii, they are subject everyone to a similar epidemic that reduced the native Hawaiian population of
over 500,000 to just over 37,000.
To prevent this pandemic from getting a grip on one of the last states with under 100 cases, please draft
articles that will dismiss Governor Ige and Mayor Kim and install the Lieutenant Governor as the acting
governor who's intent is to lock down the islands NOW. To falter in taking action has caused deaths to yet
be recorded and will certainly cause them in the future.We are getting very close to civic unrest as the
responses by our existing governing bodies has not alleviated the collective concern about safety.
Sincerely,
Jack Crobaugh
