There was an "island wide popular vote" about building a resort? Please give more details!
It was an island wide referendum on the ballot in 1992.
From Punaweb 2008:
I do remember a previous referendum here on the island. It was put before the voters to decide whether or not to place a resort on the only beach in Kohala not already dominated by one. Curiously, the developers and powers that be named the referendum the "Save Hapuna Referendum". (Like a huge resort on Hapuna Beach was going to keep it from disapearing or something.) I can't imagine how many confused voters inadvertantly voted for the resort.
