Harry Kim has a plan to end the Mauna Kea standoff, more like a lengthy proposal. He may reveal it by the end of this week, or later. Stay tuned. He said once the proposal is announced it will conclude his job as mediator. I'm not sure a take it or leave approach will be successful at this point, but who knows? Or could he mean someone else will then take over negotiations?
Having been tasked with finding common ground between TMT opponents and supporters by Gov. David Ige, Kim has held several meetings with Hawaiian community leaders, some in support and some in opposition to the telescope.
Kim said the results of those meetings, as well as his decades of experience with the community, will culminate in a lengthy proposal that will enumerate what the state must change in order to move forward with the TMT project. That proposal, he said, might be completed later this week, and will conclude his work as Ige’s mediator.
