If the state of hawaii had already visited and pre-chosen team Ha's to be our islands 1st dispensary owner then why continue to take others application money without a fair application approval process?
Didn't the recent geothermals talk of expansion of another puna geothermal plant process also have questions surrounding its application or rewarding process?

Interesting to find Mr HA's name in this controversial geothermal investment too,jmo.
Why does it feel like (OHA) is only out for the money?
What is the difference between IDG and OHA?
It always stinks like there is some kind of unfair or unethical process happening with the way this county, state, and oha discuss, propose, or deal with future geothermal interests or intentions here in lower Puna.
Would including the general public or the community that lives around the geothermal power plant be to much to ask?
Also found this recent article that helps explain some of the decades old civil forfeiture laws that have been impacting or hurting many Puna residents.

Why can this state run a civil forfeiture program aimed at displacing local families from their property, faster than the county or state can run a geothermal relocation program to help a concerned family relocate?
Edited to add links.
Sharing the link below for you to keep track of the progress at the PUC with regard to the status of the OHA/IDG/HELCO case/situation (Docket #2016-0027):

Your questions are valid, regarding Mr. Ha.Yes, he sat on the Geothermal Working Group, as did Bob Lindsay, OHA Chairman, as did Andrea Gill (brilliant woman) from the State, and others. He currently sits on the AG Board and thankfully, he has that kind of experience to warrant these positions.
To bring this back to topic, again, I wish him well, and trust he will do his best in this endeavor.
kalakoa, lol!
Got me all pissed off again at OHA, but that's for yet another thread...Ugh![xx(]
Have a lovely evening all.
JMO.
P.S. Gypsy, there's a really long link you posted, and it's kinda screwing up the margins, can you please fix it? Here's a link to shorten your long links, FYI:
