Good summery & analysis of the TMT controversy in the Dec 2015 issue of Farmers and Friends:

The dark matter investigator and the dark side of the Hawai‘i Supreme Court
A Harvard physicist celebrates the joy of new knowledge
The Hawai‘i Supreme Court prolongs an argument.
What course shall we choose?

Here's an excerpt from page 16 & 17:

Following the Supreme Court ruling, Governor David Ige reiterated his support for the TMT project. He said that state agencies were reviewing the ruling to figure out what part of the process should change.
“And then we are waiting for guidance from the Circuit Court,” he added, “because they need to, I guess, interpret what the Supreme Court said, and we will make the changes we need to in the process and move forward.”
Despite its good intent, that statement does not inspire confidence.

Bill Walter, vice president of the Hawai‘i Island Chamber of Commerce, wrote: “What we see is a system that has become so complex that even government itself cannot give us a clear route to decisions based on merit. A decision based on process where government has defined the process and it has been followed — and then rejected by government, can only be seen as a failure of governance.”
