Splitting the County!
I am responding to Gerald Lange's letter on splitting the county.
I believe timing is everything. In the mid 90's we weren't ready for another county. We didn't have all of the anchor stores and construction growth. We didn't have cruise ships dropping anchor. We were driving to Hilo to shop and spend money.
The jobs are now in West Hawaii and so is the population. Now we are sitting in traffic all the time and wondering maybe it is time for a new county. Two main roads for 60,000 people isn't right somehow. Maybe we need to get serious and take action.
I met with Mr. Lange today to review where they left off. A study needs to be done to see the exact cost of breaking away and maintaining our current services.
In January I would like to host a meeting at the Old Airport Pavilion and open the discussion up to the public. If you live between Hawi and Kau then you will be directly impacted by showing up and becoming involved.
"We the People" is our constitution. Where are your taxes going?
We need to work together as a team. This will never happen if you read this and do nothing. We need the whole population to step up on this one.
