TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo

[Guest]

Eric1600, I apologize if my opinion's offended you again. The TMT donation in good faith is wonderful and appreciated but it is certainly not the sole reason why our selected high schools are now competitive or making up for lost time in things like robotics design. The military and government have also been largely involved or behind this catch-up effort from our state. jmo

P.S. I brought up the "Ferry kept offshore" gaming and entertainment idea as an example of another possible direction our state could take if the TMT project finds no common ground and is not allowed on the Hawaiian's sacred ground of Mauna Kea. The TMT project should not be the last chance or opportunity this state could create with it's limited resources. The success or failure of the TMT project should not be used to create fear or uncertainty of tougher times ahead for our youth or communities. jmo


TomK, I had only suggested the possibility of a local run ski resort or food truck opportunity upon Mauna Kea because of your astronomy community wanting to expand again with it's own Disneyland like atmosphere. I grew up here thinking the summit area of Mauna Kea was Kapu, restricted and respected from most if not all. I did not realize Mauna Kea had been sold to countries like China and India or opened up for pre-selected tourism business, my bad. jmo
