I had a chance to digest the HSC's majority opinion tonight

On face value, it felt like I had lump of coal in my stocking. But after reading the WHT article, the HSC decision,and Hawaii County's press release it seemed neither side lost anything by this ruling.The only folks that did lose are the residents of Ka'u and South Kona who have to endure more traffic congestion while this legal wrangling continues.
