kjlpahoa, It might be helpful for you to understand how these types of bills are written. The underlined words are to be added, and the striked ( crossed out) words are to be deleted. For example, 'geothermal' was already one of the uses of ag land, and I would never have put such a thing in there! Few of the items you list are changes made by my bill.
Rainyjim, thank you for hitting the nail on the head! That is, we are hearing from the usual 3 or 4 "anti-ruderman people who want to attack ruderman and don't actually care about the bill one way or the other."
pahoated, I realize I can never do anything correct in your worldview, but when you say "because his buddy that gets a big payoff is on Maui" I really have no idea WTF you're talking about. If you want to know why only Big Island and Maui are included, perhaps you should ask before throwing your mud around.
If anyone has a legitimate question about the bill I will try to answer them.
