Mahalo, AaronS, for the link and update. This has been in the wind ("ka makani") , not a cultural statement, but a "coconut wireless" statement. (lol)
It is interesting, isn't it? Perhaps the system works. (?) Time for decisions to be made, and hopefully, they weigh heavily on those "in charge".
It is time to move forward. TMT is not at fault here. UH/DLNR/State of Hawai'i, et al, must make right what has been described as a "failure" with regard to the promises made.
Moreso, due to "Conservation" land designation, which holds a higher standard (and higher damn taxes for us, "little people" should your property be in that zoning. Ugh! [xx(]).
Of note, we can't even build a hotel or any building on this island, which towers eighteen (18) stories high from sea level, never mind, on Mauna a Wakea/Mauna Kea, which sits on "Conservation" land, no less. The law used to be, "no higher than a coconut tree", then, "three stories high", etc.
Time to move forward and not penalize TMT, but penalize the State and the UH, DLNR, and all they are under the direction of. Very trying times, indeed. Promises made must be kept, however, TMT should not pay that penalty. The rest of the above listed should.
JMO.
