Hilo, HI: Last week, the Hawaii County Council declined $265,000 in federal grant money for the state's marijuana eradication program called Operation Green Harvest.

The council voted 6-3 to temporarily suspend the grant money, leaving funding for the helicopter intensive surveillance program in limbo. The council cited growing concerns by citizens who say the helicopter flights are not only an invasion of privacy, but also a noise nuisance disturbing farm animals and citizens.

This Monday, state Senator Andy Levin (D-3rd District) introduced an amendment to the state appropriations bill stating that "no state funds shall be expended... for Operation Green Harvest or other marijuana eradication programs that involve the use of helicopters unless the Board of Land and Natural Resources holds a public hearing... and adopts procedures for the use of the helicopters that address the concerns of those living in the areas over which the helicopters fly."

"I don't believe there should be a continuing Green Harvest," Levin said. "But I am hoping to start a dialogue where the community can voice concerns and officials will be in a position to listen."
