Hawaii State Legislature
Dear Chair Yamane and Committee members:
RE: HB 558, RELATING TO KEKAHA KAI STATE PARK
Thank you for this opportunity to testify in support of HB 558, which would fund
lifeguard services at Kua Bay in Kekaha Kai State Park.
Kua Bay is one of the most beautiful locations in the islands, but its hidden
hazards can prove deadly. It is now easily accessible, so for the sake of locals and
visitors alike, a lifeguard at that location is definitely warranted and would be much
appreciated.
Please act favorably on HB 558.
Sincerely,
tm
Mayor
