If my memory is correct, construction of the TMT should be wrapped in 2024. This is nine years away, not 12 years.
Why will our taxes be raised because of the TMT? This is a privately funded telescope project.
"Blighted landscape." This is a load of bunk. Its my understanding this telescope will be viewable from small segment of the island due its placement on the mountain. Please read the contested case hearing officer's decision from mid-2013.
