Thank you for considering my comment on Plan 2045. I strongly urge that it be dropped.
I find Plan 2005 to be breathtakingly beautiful. We need such a thing for the whole world. So
honest and so open.
I am not normally worshipful of the Past, and I do see the need to move forward. But Plan
2045 would narrow the options. Why do that? And where is the sense of who actually favors
the contents of 2045? To me, it sounds like all the political (pardon me) malarkey of the last
several years. Dry words, obscuring secret policies. Finally, when the truth comes out, we
mourn.
Just don't go down that wrong road. Please. Please!
Care for the true values of Hawaii. Let its good people speak. I can name three Hawaiians who
are bursting with the urge to be helpful: Tina Lia of Maui, Michelle Melendez of Big Island, and
Luna of HawaiiPaeAina.org. Not to forget Traci Derwin who moved to California.
It brings tears to my eyes (not joking) to think of the potential for a Plan that would
incorporate the dreams of such knowledgeable and dedicated individuals. What an
opportunity!
Just say No to Plan 2045 at the meeting today. This duty rests on your shoulders, Commission
members, for generations hence.
Thank you.
Yours respectfully,
