Aloha Chair Paltin and members of the PSLU committee. My name is Nalani Kaninau and I am a 30 year resident of Kihei. I am so proud of the leadership of this Council and the focused commitment to the health and well-being of our Community. I am very excited about the addition of the new High School (not so much the roundabout) and feel it will bring a heightened sense of "community" to South Maui. I believe it's important to build on that sense of community in shaping the future of South Maui. I believe identifying the priorities and needs of hardworking parents and their keiki and our kupuna to be job #1. Affordable housing and the supporting infrastructure, transportation, access to safe parks and recreation areas are mandatory. I'm happy to see the focus shift from Luxury development and Visitor needs which has become toxic to our beautiful island home for many years. I'm not an expert in anything BUT I am willing to follow this, apply to be on the Committee and collaborate with others in the best interest of my Community. Mahalo nui for your time and attention. Nalani
