DeVera, Ashley From: Michael Alexander < Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 11:06 PM To: Planning General Plan Subject: General Plan Final Draft 2045 _ Michael Alexander Testimony Submission 26 September 2024 General Plan 2045 County of Hawaii Planning Department 101 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 Hilo, Hawaii 96772 Re: Written Testimony of Michael Alexander -General Plan Final Recommended Draft dated July 2024 Aloha Planning Department, In the last few days I have become aware that the County of Hawaii has produced a plan called the General Plan 2045. There are several things concerning this plan that bother me. The origin of this plan has nothing to do with Hawaii or the wellbeing of the people of Hawaii. It is my understanding the government is supposed to be of the people, by the people and for the people which was presented by Abraham Lincoln. It is my understanding the origin of this plan occurred in 1992 by Nancy Pelosi in conjunction with the United Nations (U.N.). This plan was formatted to change the World and United States as we currently know it. Within this plan there has not been any public debate or opportunity of the people of Hawaii to participate in their future. Additionally, the U.N. and Nancy Pelosi have nothing to do with the State or independent Nation of Hawaii. It appears to me this is formatted to control the people to illuminate their independence and self- determination. One of the principles that George Washington set forth was that the people of this country should be set forward over the concept of making money. It appears that you have reversed this—that money is more important than people. Therefore, there is no way I can support this General Plan 2045 as it is proposed. I VOTE NO FOR THIS GENERAL PLAN AS IT IS CURRENTLY PUT FORTH. It has been brought to my attention that Stand Together Hawaii has prepared a comprehensive basic review regarding the General Plan. I would suggest you go to their website and completely reorganize your 20-year General Plan. It has been proven over the years that we thrive when we are allowed to create for the well being of the people. Not for the wellbeing of corporate or government entities. Your plan has not restored one of the most important aspects of Hawaii that is being self-sustainable with a 100% agricultural system. Removing 400,000 acres of Agricultural land is the wrong direction. This island has the ability to feed itself healthy food. That is the most important direction to put in a plan for the future. Thank you for your consideration. It is my prayer that you move forward for the well-being of the people as we do not need Smart Cities or anything similar. i
