There've already been 3 elections <br />where the 2% and maintenance funds came out solidly popular. Not only that, the fund is successful and growing our <br />island's ability to preserve the most special places, open space, and sanity that residents depend upon for a decent <br />quality of life. <br />When the county claims to lack of funds for so many important things, how can an unnecessary special election be <br />considered when it will cost taxpayers plenty? <br />Please support the following amendments and give up diversions meant only to divert funds from where We the People <br />voted that they go: <br />1. CA -9 with our preferred amendment have one staff member who works ONLY on the 2% Land fund Program <br />and <br />2. CA -18 would allow payment to people who work to protect our treasured, acquired lands. <br />Mahalo and sincerely, <br />Janice Palma-Glennie <br />P.O. box 48+9 <br />Kai�ua-Kona, Ijawai'i 967+5 <br />1 Comm.
