We now have clear evidence of fraud and collusion in Maui County's administration of Special Management Area Permits to allow developers and licensed consultants to intentionally avoid public review and the cost of environmental protections, in violation of Federal Coastal Zone Management Laws. As the decades of public records expose, one by one, politically appointed Planning Directors have selectively issued thousands of exemptions and SMA Minor Permits on private ocean front properties and massive agricultural tracts that have been subdivided into condominiums, in order to serve the developer's financial interests. The cumulative impacts of toxic runoff, obstructed coastal access, shoreline erosion and traffic jams are being perpetuated by an active and illegal covered-up of this fraud and collusion by Corporation Counsel. We believe a simple, focused audit will expose loopholes in the SMA Permitting process and reveal to the Planning Commission the massive number of multimillion dollar, private, oceanfront developments where the citizens have been illegally cut out of the review and approval process. In order to end the decades-long exploitation of Maui Taxpayers, our Ocean Life, Reefs and Shoreline, we call on each County Council Member to sign this petition and join hands with the citizens in our request of Maui's Independent Auditor to identify and close the loopholes that facilitate the irresponsible mismanagement of Federal Environmental Laws.
