It's old school protest/get arrested/get media attention strategy. Can be very successful however I understand it was very frustrating for those who had prepared to speak at the meeting. Unfortunately the health department has been stunted by government/big business collaboration and the people affected are resorting to drastic measures...again.
A professor at UH Hilo explained to me that a great deal of money including federal has been allocated to this project. But it's a project that will die out at the end of the vine once everyone involved has rec'd their share. In other words, it's highly caustic, located in an area where peoples civil rights are being violated and will continually wind up in court and not be cost effective in the long run. Most everyone in the business knows that but continue to go after that money knowing it will be fruitless. Corruption at it's finest.
