Aloha,
My testimony yesterday said that you are required, not requested, required to not move this
plan forward. Otherwise, the whole public testimony is a farce and you've wasted our time!
You've heard for over 6-months people crying and angry telling you reasons, giving you pagenumbers of why this plan should not go through!
Yesterday, I had hoped that the Westward Commission would vote to not recommend this
plan as you are required to do. You are sitting in a volunteering seat that is meant to representthe people and the people have told you for over 6-months NOT to put this plan through!
Instead all you've done is changed wording. That will not fix the many issues wrong with this
plan and the effects it will have on Big Island communities. That is putting a bandaid on abreaking dam!
This plan with its zero emissions, electric vehicle mandates, clustered housing, stakeholders
meaning anyone in the entire world has a voice in this plan, making Big Island mostlyConservation land (the "mistake" of changing an Urban land use to Conservation should
STOP this plan immediately), and so forth is a fascist plan that will destroy this island andyou've been told that for over 6-months!
When will you do your kuleana and honor your seat as a representative of the people?
The message you are sending is that people have no voice and what we say doesn't matter
because Big Government will steamroll us and there is no one who will stand up for thepeople!
