Opihikao, mahalo to you for your view or opinion about some Hawaiians feelings regarding geothermal today. Hope all is well with you and your Ohana.
Opihikao, Although you and I have crossed paths on this geothermal issue in the past, we were able to keep it respectful.
Please allow me to ask you a sensitive question that has been impacting my family for some time now.
Would you or todays Hawaiian be in favor of your local politicians being able to take, use, or spend geothermal "relocation" funds in order to help supplement the County Budget or pay for required county functions?
I had to ask you Opihikao, because you did bring up a Hawaiian perspective about the on going geothermal operations and because I respect you and your opinion on most community issues. And for two, you have done very well avoiding "me" on the county offer thread, lol.
As you know some here who live around the geothermal power plant have been patiently waiting for the county of Hawaii to help them relocate and the Relocation funds have been strangely dissapearing, miscounted, or being redistributed for other "priorities". I am concerned this once well intended relocation fund could or may have turned into a Possible political slush fund. Meanwhile we are trying to stay patient and positive throughout this obviously difficult time, mahalo again Opihikao.
