ear g Date: 2122/18 — 10:10 am; Conference Room 211
As a Mayor, and as a father of a firefighter, Iwish to join my Fire Chief and the
State Fire Council in expressine my support for SB 2660.
Improving access for firefighters to comprehensive medical benefits upon a
diagnosis of cancer is clearly ti e right thing to do, and 1 hope that await will join other
progressive states which have recognized the extraor. !nary risks faced by these brave
men and women on a daily basis.
1 urge you to approve SB 2660.
Respectfully submitted,
Harry Kim
Mayor, County of Hawaii
