Aloha kakahiaka, Mr. Tom. Point taken; was not ignoring those millions, merely setting it straight that throwing around $1.4 billion dollars does not mean it is coming here, as some people actually believe.
One of the reasons I support TMT (besides the scientific opportunities) is because of the millions that will be spent in litigation if it is not built. Additionally, "millions" are indeed good for our economy, however, at what cost?
Let's hope ALL the developers follow the guidelines set forth for Conservation land, and maintain their promise to "protect" Mauna Kea. This has not happened to date, evidenced by the State Auditor reports.
Promises made, must be promises kept. (Not going to hold my breath)
Still holding hope for "common ground" to be reached, as all parties attempt to move forward.
JMO.
ETA: typo; last thought.
