MEXICO'S NEW LAW WILL ERODE TOURIST COUNT

We may have just lost 25 to 50 percent of our tourists. Last week,
Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana! This will pack all
the Mexican resorts with millions of travelers who will now be able to
enjoy a legal joint with their margaritas.

Many of these vacationers are the same travelers who would have been
coming to Maui. But without the extra enticement of enjoying a little
Maui Wowee, plus the much-lower rental rates, thanks to our mayor's
vendetta against our affordable vacation rentals, we are bound to lose
hundreds of thousands of visitors and millions in revenues.

When will the people of Maui wake up and take back our freedom to
pursue happiness and be secure in our homes without government
interference in every aspect of our lives.
