Interesting discussion and clear that people are passionate. We own a lot on 4th but don't live there. I do think my opinion should count however, because of the principle of "no taxation without representation". Not being there I am not too concerned about which roads get improved or how but I voted for the proposition because I thought that improvements were needed and it seemed to me a small price to pay. On a separate but related note, it seems to me obvious that with a population greater than 12000, HPP is not rural nor agricultural but well on its way to becoming a city. And, in time, might well rival Hilo. That said I appreciate the long time effort Rob and others make to looking toward the future, which is going to come, whether we like it or not.
