I suggest doing a search for PMAR here on Punaweb, and you will get a vast array of opinions and information. I'm not going to go over all of it for the umpteenth time when it's obvious most people have made up their minds.
I feel, however, that I need to say that HPP's Committee on PMAR was made up of five persons of diverse opinions, and James Weatherford as an individual did not sabotage anything. (And in case you're wondering, I haven't supported James' recent political aspirations, so I'm not a left over campaign shill.) I was the committee chairman, and there was a consensus among us that the Planning Department was neither truly interested in listening to us nor interested in scoping (defining the project) in advance of an EIS. That's why we insisted on a strategic reset of the process, which is in progress. We have never officially said "no way, never" to PMAR. We await the Planning Department's next move.
