Potential restrictions to Mauna Kea access

[TomK]

I felt this subject required a separate thread to the current TMT thread. Hope people don't mind, and just want to say first off I am against the proposed restrictions, whether they are temporary emergency restrictions or become more permanent.

I'm tired, so won't provide all the info I can find, but will try and start things off:

From Opihikao (hope you don't mind me quoting you):

"The BLNR is meeting tomorrow to consider emergency rules to restrict access to Mauna Kea. OHA will be submitting testimony that OPPOSES items C-1 and C-2 of the BLNR meeting agenda. If you are interested in providing testimony, the meeting will be held at the Kalanimoku Building (1151 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI, 96813) at 9:00am tomorrow.
