Connie S. Patton (Letter, Sept. 17) erroneously wrote that Gov. Linda Lingle supported development of 5,000 hotel rooms on the North Shore despite overwhelming opposition.
Ms. Patton needs to get her facts straight.
First, the proposed development on the North Shore would allow 3,500 rooms/timeshare/condo units, not 5,000.
Second, Rep. Colleen Meyer and I introduced a resolution at the 2006 Republican Convention calling for a supplemental environmental impact statement and a re-evaluation of the Turtle Bay project.
The resolution passed due in part to the strong support of Gov. Lingle. What Ms. Patton needs to do is come to the North Shore and see how much we are striving to "Keep the Country, Country" and to share our gratitude that our governor is on our side.
