VIDEO: Inside and Out At The TMT Contested Case Conference
Once again, mahalo to Big Island Video News.
ETA: Aloha ahiahi, all. Mahalo for your opinions on this "somewhat progress". First, the County Council chambers was booked, and now Judge Amano addressed the change to the State Bldg. in the video (she stated: ..."would have accommodated everyone"; "beyond our control").
The entire proceedings went well, (evidenced by the video) given the challenges. Judge Amano handled the entire hearing with fairness. She has my utmost respect. All parties handled themselves in a dignified manner, including the "protestors/protectors", who spoke English to Judge Amano, and were respectful and well spoken.
The schedule discussed after the ruling, is as follows (from my copious note taking by hand, not iphone...lol/Link above (DLNR) will have full order when posted):
Witness List - Deadline: July 18th
(*Responses to Witness list deadline 8/1/16)
Site Inspection - To be scheduled
Deadlines for Pre-Hearing Motions - July 18th
(*Repsonses to Motions due 8/1/16)
There will be NO Discovery
Subpoena deadline - To be within written order; subject to change
The State/UH/BLNR/DLNR/et al, given the Supreme Court Ruling, have assigned this burden to Judge Amano to make sure it is done right this time. None of this would be happening if it was done right in the first place. Now, the onus is upon those who approved the first "permit" (BLNR/et al), to overcompensate in the "fairness/transparent" perception area. It was quite evident given the verbal statements, moreso, the body language in the room, from all parties.
The Sub-lease is still in discussion, per Judge Nakamura's order, post Supreme Court Order. Still has not been revisited by BLNR, per the attorneys, and that remains another hurdle.
There is still a challenge ahead for all parties, timing being of the essence for one, and timing being as important to the other. Never mind, it's an election year.
This is still not about just TMT, but the bigger picture, and finally, in my view, all of it is coming to light. Slowly, but surely. Tutu always said, "What you do in the dark, will come out in the light". I trust this process will finally bring change and fairness, to ALL of the lands under the management of this State, and their various departments.
JMO.
