Planning commission members, as a kupuna of Hawaii County, I wish to offer mythoughts 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 futurepeople 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 dictatoriallevels of power.
The guidance of people of Hawaii county must be the starting and ending point of alldiscussions 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 peopleof 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 discussionabout 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 ourconstitutional republic process.
We want it to be explicidly 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
planof the fundamental reasons for the existence of this commission, please include the following
inthe introduction of this planning document:
We the People of the County of Hawaii, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establishJustice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, doordain 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 HonmaKenh.7553@gmail.com, 8089677553, P.O.B0x 451 Kurtistown, Hi. 96760
