<br />From:Mary Maxwell <br />To:WPCtestimony <br />Subject:I now put my testimony in body of this email, and also attach it identically. <br />Date:Monday, November 4, 2024 9:01:07 AM <br />Attachments:To Windward re 2045.docx <br />To: Windward Planning Commission <br />Thank you for considering my comment on Plan 2045. I strongly urge that it be dropped. <br />I find Plan 2005 to be breathtakingly beautiful. We need such a thing for the whole world. So <br />honest and so open. <br />I am not normally worshipful of the Past, and I do see the need to move forward. But Plan <br />2045 would narrow the options. Why do that? And where is the sense of who actually favors <br />the contents of 2045? To me, it sounds like all the political (pardon me) malarkey of the last <br />several years. Dry words, obscuring secret policies. Finally, when the truth comes out, we <br />mourn. <br />Just don't go down that wrong road. Please. Please! <br />Care for the true values of Hawaii. Let its good people speak. I can name three Hawaiians who <br />are bursting with the urge to be helpful: Tina Lia of Maui, Michelle Melendez of Big Island, and <br />Luna of HawaiiPaeAina.org. Not to forget Traci Derwin who moved to California. <br />It brings tears to my eyes (not joking) to think of the potential for a Plan that would <br />incorporate the dreams of such knowledgeable and dedicated individuals. What an <br />opportunity! <br />Just say No to Plan 2045 at the meeting today. This duty rests on your shoulders, Commission <br />members, for generations hence. <br />Thank you. <br />Yours respectfully, <br />Mary Maxwell, PhD Signed November 4, 2024 <br />Website: ConstitutionAndTruth.com <br />
