developing tourism for the east side

[Leslie1958]

Getting a little off topic. We desperately need tourism dollars. Since losing the Kapoho Tide pools, Hot Pond, & Lava viewing, we have nothing to bring tourists back. We need to insist that something gets done. We need safe swimming lagoons,and keiki ponds. Safe ocean recreation would bring tourists dollars back to Puna.This is the area that was affected by the volcano so all of the recovery money needs to stay here in Lower Puna. We need to stand up and demand this. We need to get the media involved. Lower Puna residents should contact newspapers, television stations, and podcasts and tell our story. We need to make Mayor Harry help Lower Puna residents & businesses. We have to make him build ocean recreation. I am willing to do this & every Lower Puna resident needs to do this too. Everybody has that phone in their hand all the time. Make it work for Lower Puna. Text Big Island News, CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN and tell them what's going on here. Mayor Harry wants to do his little pet projects around the island & do nothing for Lower Puna. We have to stop letting Mayor Kim & his old boy monopoly do as they please. Step up say something. We need ocean recreation & a boat launch. Time to put a little media pressure on this topic. I will if you will.
