Hamakua has historically always been a distinct district, <br />with unique challenges and opportunities. Plan A would divide our district and remove our voice in local <br />government. There is an amazing opportunity for Hamakua to grow as an agricultural, family farm based <br />economy, and there are many efforts that are working to achieve this. It is imperative that we retain our unified <br />Hamakua voice in local government to ensure that our partnership with the County government remains strong. <br />Community Plan 40 would be a much preferred alternative to the redistricting effort. Thank you for your time, <br />and please vote no on Plan A, and yes on Plan 40. Me ke aloha, Jim Cain, Waipi'o Valley 333 -0457 <br />COMM. 4 8. 8 3 <br />11/4/2011 <br />
