Thank you for your help.

Hello Everyone-Thank you so much for your help and support on this very important issue. All our hard work paid off. We've motivated people and empowered voters to get excited about saving our land. A Quick Update: On Wednesday the Hawaii County Council voted 8 votes for and 1 vote absent (Arakaki) to give the us a Certificate of Sufficiency and to put the measure on the Ballot in November. Our final count was almost 10,000 signatures and we questioned their criteria on the record at the meeting. The Council also recognized that the Petition Initiative process needs to be more clearly defined and hopefully we will help write a new Ordinance to accomplish that. It's time to support the work of the Open Space Commission and save our treasured lands for our children and grandchildren. Mahalo!!NEXT STEPS: to get people to the polls and get them to vote "YES" for 2% for Open Space
