The reasons seem to be laden with enough <br />proof and questions about 5G technology to cause all of us (and especially you) to pause in <br />considering that technology and this bill. <br />Council member Evans has submitted an ordinance Bill 194 to create a sensible balance when <br />it comes to 5G. Her bill deserves your support. <br />Please make way for Bill 1194’s passage by denying Item #4. It’s your kuleana to stop a <br />rushed approval process at the behest of Telecom and to protect stakeholders from having too <br />much power in the hands of an unelected, often insufficiently tech-savvy government body <br />(aka planning department) and from them making bottom line, critical decisions that will <br />affect the public and environmental health. <br />Mahalo for voting against Item #4 and supporting Bill 194 when it’s heard at council. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janice Palma-glennie <br />Kailua-kona <br />
