Among the motley crew of contested case participants who oppose the TMT, Brannon is a real train wreck. If you read the Ian Lind story that Tom posted, you can see the screen shot of the obscene and violent Facebook message which is now preserved forever for all historians to see.
The transcript of his interrogation of Günter Hasinger does not come close to capturing the nervous and emotional state of his mind when he is standing behind the microphone.
On one day several months ago, he was late to arrive to the hearing. When Amano asked to him explain his tardiness, he gave a long winded sob story of how he was low on funds and how hard it was to petal his bicycle to the airport to make his flight. He was crashing on a friend's sofa; it's possible that he is unemployed. He admitted to her that he was "deprived of REM sleep" and that being involved with the contested case hearing was such on enormous hardship for him.
How he managed to be given standing in this hearing is truly baffling.
Kealoha Pisciotta used to be a technician on the Maxwell telescope on summit. It is good that she did not try go to law school, because her performance on the stand is often bumbling. Many times she had to be coached by Amano on how to ask a question. She lacks focus in her train of thought and frequently goes way off the topics covered in the written direct testimony of a witness. Last week she admitted to having some amount of "brain fog" (her words, not mine).
That being said, she is affable.
