Appreciating
Learned that many feel that they are limited by current statutes, codes and ordinances: 1. The
timing of process dictated to 150 days.
1. Reference to 2015 state adopted UN sustainable development goals. Regarding climate
change and many others.
Question: If not restricted by a statute code or ordinance about any portion of this plan what
would you do? Have to learn to walk without our hobbles. Many of our s/c/o.... Are very
good and helpful. Occasionally they prevent people from doing what is self evident and right.
This is to a significant degree our social compact as people. It's why people are passionate.
Walking away from a meeting last week I was convinced that largely we want the same
things.
A place we want to live that honors property rights, freedoms, constitutional enumerated
principals (1840 or 1791).
And our freedom to solve our own problems.
A place we can afford to live.
Additionally, adding to the voluminous amount of testimony to process my comments about
process.
1. I learned that prior to 2019 there was enormous public testimony and involvement in
this plan. However. I believe these meetings would have been more productive and
honoring if there had been opportunity for interaction.
2. Time limits were frustrating many times.... Interaction of course takes more time but it
helps with clarity.
3. There has been a TON of redundancy. I believe much of it has been
unnecessary. People repeat themselves when they feel strongly and/or believe they
stand on truth but don't feel not just heard but listened to and appropriate truthful and
honorable action taken.
4. Similarly, involvement in conversations after public testimony time closed would have
helped. I know hours of commitment have gone into this by volunteers. My being here
till noon each day of public testimony is costly... let alone the afternoon which leads to
my next point
5. With respect to volunteers and their time, being during work hours is automatically
limiting. Obviously.
6. Finally - I believe meetings would have been even better attended had they been at
appropriate times and if they had been better informed. Simply putting this in with the
property tax notices would have virtually guaranteed that the only relevant
STAKEHOLDERS would have been informed and given a voice in their future.
Counselor for Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC) at the U.S. Mission to the UN Edward
Heartney at the General Assembly,
"Put simply, globalist endeavors like Agenda 2030 and the SDGs lost at the ballot box.
Therefore, the United States rejects and denounces the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and it will no longer reaffirm them as a
matter of course."
Appreciation of you all. Prayers and aloha.
