Something for everyone.
For native Hawaiians in favor of the observatory: TMT: as a project that honors Mauna Kea rather than injures it.
For native Hawaiians who oppose the observatory: future development to occur on existing sites, and the TMT site to be the last new site on Mauna Kea
For Hawaiian practitioners: Individuals testified that seeing the TMT will disturb them when they are doing ceremonies or other spiritual practices. The TMT cannot be seen from the actual summit or from many other places on the summit ridge.
For native Hawaiian keiki: an additional $1 million each year for college scholarships for native Hawaiians
For the local economy: TMT will employ about 140 people.
For the environment: $1 million/yr., for conservation on Mauna Kea.
The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?
