I'ts not a TMT vs social services for residents that we are dealing with. TMT is funded by a group of nations who are all spending a lot of money to see this project come to life. The Canadian Government is kicking some money in, and some of that money is being spent in Canada to produce part of the observatory that will be assembled in Hawaii. This project can in no way "trump and be an island priority over much needed community projects".
What will happen is there will be a number of jobs created that will generate tax revenue. If we want anything, we should be demanding both wise spending and accountability on the part of our politicians.
If you need exercise, I recommend riding a bicycle from Hilo to Mauna Kea and back. For education how about Imiloa. Unfortunately, Aloha has been pretty scarce lately in punatalk, although there are a few who still post in that spirit.
Just call me Mike
