FYI:
As protests delay the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s business community is speaking out. Last week we interviewed the president of W.H. Shipman Ltd, Bill Walter, about the implications of the conflict. Shipman is a large landowner in Puna, particularly in the area of Kea’au.

(*He also addresses geothermal, GMO, and business in Hawai'i (Moku o Keawe, not the "State")
I have the utmost respect for Mr. Walter, and despite the occasional misperception of the W.H. Shipman properties/management/politics, etc., this man is committed to our community. No question. He is keiki o ka aina. (*Disclosure: Mr. Walter's ohana has intertwined with ours for generations, thus, not a frivolous statement made.)
It is a process. Mahalo, Mr. Walter.
Imua kakou.
