My husband and I live in Kulcuihaele, <br />and while we are neither farmers or ranchers we understand the importance of keeping <br />agriculture in the forefront for our district. I feel that it would be a disservice to not only the <br />citizens of Hamakua but also to the entire island to divide our resources between two <br />(possibly competing) camps. It is not often that residents from Waimea come to Honokaa <br />or any of the other small towns out here for patronage. Honokaa does not have the same <br />resources of private money for public projects that are available in Waimea. It is questionable <br />to merge these two areas. <br />Our current councilman has worked tirelessly for many years to foster development for <br />new and existing ag ventures in all of Hamakua. We need to keep this a unified district <br />to keep agriculture THE most important issue. After all with the population ever increasing <br />not only on our island but all the islands we all need to eat. <br />Mahalo, <br />Jean Brodman <br />COMM. 48.89 <br />11/4/2011 <br />
