Corporate PR spin, nothing new. Shipman wants to have as much control over Puna as possible, including being able to drive as much traffic through their company town as possible. Not unexpected to say the least.
I am more concerned by a candidate that is indebted to such a corporation (including a senator from another island at the opposite end of the state) and makes it clear at every opportunity that he is there to do their bidding. I am amazed at how many residents of Puna appear to be OK with having a senator from another island dictate our future by a proxy puppet with strings of gold in order to maintain the Old Boy status quo.
Say what you want about Ruderman, but he isn't in anyone's pocket, he isn't afraid to stand up for the people of his district, and we have been well represented by him in the Legislature in spite of questionable efforts on the part of the current leadership.
