It's not personal or an attack on any of <br /> you. I really appreciate you and your time. I know you're volunteers. <br /> My intensity is due to this plan and my huge concern of the possibilities that it will move <br /> forward. <br /> There was a commissioner that asked what would happen if it didn't go through, which it <br /> should not. Mahalo for the question. This plan should not be rushed just because it's over the <br /> time limit when it should have been adopted. If it will harm the island and the people here, <br /> which it will, it must be recommended that it not go through. I pray that you do that. <br /> The general plan manager said they took input from locals to create this plan. I don't know one <br /> local that would want a plan like this, and not one has shown up to speak on behalf of the plan <br /> in the 10 meetings I've attended. <br /> She also stated the source for climate change is from the "authority of the State". The State is <br /> not an expert on weather. The State and the electric companies will prosper if this plan goes <br /> through, not the people. If they are the source for the foundation of a plan where they prosper, <br /> that is a conflict of interest. <br /> I want to say a big mahalo to the commissioner who asked for them to talk about the Hawaii <br /> land trusts in the plan. That was a wonderful request. I haven't seen any info on it so I'm <br /> curious to hear what they say. <br /> I know that you are all volunteers and I cannot express how much I really do appreciate you <br /> and your time. I'm very sorry if my intensity has come across as an attack. That was never my <br /> intention. Without you, this plan goes through to people who are paid and may not have the <br /> public's best interest at heart. You do, and I really appreciate that. <br /> Have a wonderful holiday. <br /> Mele Kalikimaka, <br /> Michelle Melendez-Freedom Activist <br /> Fitness and Wellness Expert Since 1996 <br /> Author Of The Best Selling and 4x Award Winning Book, <br /> End Dieting Hell:How to find peace in your body and release the weight <br /> Order your copy of End Dieting Hell Click Here <br /> "Great Maid Land Grab"NOW Available here <br />
