That's an interesting blog from Kauai. Don't know if she is a lonely voice there, but she certainly is a rational one. In a post from Wednesday she also may be foretelling a legal drama that may be played out here on the Big Island as legal action against Kauai's county council's ill-considered law gets underway
Has our council put aside sufficient funds to defend the expected lawsuit arising from their anti-GMO law?

Meanwhile, in the real world, the county attorney is asking the County Council today to approve $75,000 to hire special counsel to launch a defense against the chem companies' lawsuit. The county is required to respond to the 70-page complaint by Friday.
Another bill asks the Council to move $500,000 into the special counsel account “for several other ongoing cases, and in anticipation of future needs,” according to county spokeswoman Beth Tokioka.
