Subject: Testimony On Hawaii General Plan 2045
Planning commission members, as a kupuna of Hawaii County, I wish to offer my
thoughts to you on the Hawaii County General Plan 2045. Thanks for giving the
people this opportunity.
It is obvious that a lot of time and effort has gone into producing this very large
document that will have many and great consequences for the present and future
people who live in the County of Hawaii.
Therefore it is very important for the writers to be clear about who is creating this
plan, and what legal grounds they have to put it forth. In this document, some of the
powers that the the document includes, read like the commission intends to give itself
dictatorial levels of power.
The guidance of people of Hawaii county must be the starting and ending point of all
discussions regarding anything in the proposed general plan.
Are the restrictions, taxes, accommodations, takings, enforcements, penalties,
international associations, and complying with international values, in conformance
with the U.S. Constitution? I leave it to you to discuss why this is so important. The
people of Hawaii county consider it monumentaly important. At this time, the people
of Hawaii county do not trust the county government, and having an open and public
discussion about constitutional conformance will help to alleviate questions and
concerns about this.
Although it's a given, it is illegal for any laws to be passed that are not in
conformance with the USA constitution. After all, your committee is legal only
because of our constitutional republic process.
We want it to be explicitly clear in this proposed plan, that you, the planning commission,
know its place in the hierarchy of our republic. To remind all the writers and readers of this
plan of the fundamental reasons for the existence of this commission, please include the
following in the introduction of this planning document:
We the People of the County of Hawaii, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this General Plan for people of the County of
Hawaii.
In case you have forgotten, it is We the people of the county of Hawaii, who daily live, work,
play, and die here, who are the authors of this document, and who are also its
beneficiaries.
Sincerely,
Ken Honma
