TMT opponents: Governor’s plan not enough

"By TOM CALLIS Hawaii Tribune-Herald

Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners challenging the Thirty Meter Telescope in court say they were left disappointed following Gov. David Ige’s remarks on management of Mauna Kea.

While Ige outlined steps Tuesday that he hopes will lead to better stewardship, including decommissioning of at least three telescopes before the TMT is built, Paul Neves and Kealoha Pisciotta told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald that the governor’s vision for the mountain still falls short since it won’t stop telescope construction. They said it also won’t resolve the conflict on Mauna Kea, where TMT opponents remain.

“Essentially, he said a lot; but he didn’t address anything relevant to what’s happening on the ground,” Pisciotta said.

“The thing that I think the governor is missing is the realization that astronomy is a privilege, not a right, and desecration is against the law in Hawaii,” she added."
