Being a Native Hawaiian spokesperson and advocate for both GE/GMO's, as well as the pro-TMT business guy -- has been parlayed and played quite well. And he has now been rewarded.
Ch-Ching! This new venture of his will be the most lucrative of all. Happily ever after for him.
With virtually no transparency as to how applicants were selected, it is not hard to see that Richard's political maneuvering got him rewarded quite well.
Ha is one of the few applicants who has actually run an agricultural business, has the land and infrastructure (even power production) in place and has experienced employees who can easily be trained to produce the new crop.
But of course none of that matters, he is just being "rewarded" for "political maneuvering".
