RE: TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo - opihikao - 06-26-2016
OMG, Ige admits there are "enforcement issues" (etc.) is a step forward. Please tell us something we don't already know. Please.
This poor man (Ige) thought the Merrie Monarch had taped music, and was astonished that the music was "live". (As an example [xx(]) He doesn't have a clue what is transpiring here on Moku o Keawe, although he is trying...Bless his heart.
Sure hope Ige is reading all the pertinent documents for the upcoming Contested Case hearing. He better be ready to back Judge Amano, (who his minions chose; then, both sides tried to remove) to take this process in the right direction.
That being said, it is my continued hope he (and others) will accept the decisions that are made heretofore, without further unnecessary expenditures of the hard earned tax dollars we must continue to pay.
God (Akua) help us all.
JMO.
P.S. gypsy, please accept my apologies, however, will not entertain your loaded questions, at this stage. Mahalo, in advance for your understanding.

I think Ige insulted everyone on the Big Island, no matter what views they have. How the hell did he become our governor?

Boggles the mind. As I read all these document for the next hearing, (during an election year, no less), it is with great hope these people "we" elected, will fulfill their commitment to all of us when sworn into office.
My aloha, as always, to Pam. Aloha ahiahi, Sir.

Latest news from the TMT:
"Representing the TMT organization, Fengchuan Li told delegates at the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation conference in Edinburgh, UK, that sites in Baja California in Mexico, the Canary Islands, and Chile were now being evaluated as alternatives."
http://optics.org/news/7/6/47
My gut feeling is Mexico is the favorite; a northern hemisphere site with less light pollution and better IR characteristics than the Canary Islands. Building it in Chile would likely be a desperation measure, as it would mean no access to the northern sky by a TMT-class telescope.
RE: TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo - PaulW - 06-28-2016
Hi Tom, just wondering why the Northern sky is more desirable?
Shakedown proponents please note - you won't get anything at all if the telescope goes to Baja.
RE: TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo - TomK - 06-28-2016
Paul,
Not more desirable on its own, but with the E-ELT and the GMT both in Chile, the southern sky is already covered. A large telescope based in the northern hemisphere gives access to the sky that isn't available to those in Chile. Basically, if all three large telescopes are in Chile, a huge chunk of the sky can't be observed by any of them.

I know this is a rhetorical question but since it's the political season I'll bite! Our former governor had "insulted" a few narrow interest groups, coupled with a press that promotes controversy he sealed his fate. The key constituency Neil insulted? The teachers...he gave a great contract to the UHPA and nothing to HSTA. Turns out Ige's wife is an HSTA v-p and he was the sitting chair of Senate Ways&Means. Voila, our accidental governor!
Throw in the "greens" with the Carleton Ching/DLNR appointment, and the seniors with an offhand scolding early in his tenure, and Neil cobbled together just enough opposition to result in a landslide for Ige.
So Ige wasn't voted in, Neil was rejected.
If you're concerned about the mountain, and the rule of law, from what I hear Ige is not your problem in the future. The word is he now "gets it" and is preparing to support both the process and the effecting of the result, up to and including state control of the access and policing of civil disobedience. The state didn't get it right the first time and they know it.

More accurately, Ige was "infliced upon us" as punishment.
"We had to destroy this village in order to save it."
