Trolls can be only be ignored once you've identified them. There are too many users who arrive here who assume everyone is discussing topics in good faith.
The latest news is UH and TMT are trying to avoid yet another contested case hearing, this time on the sublease. They are appealing to the State Supreme Court to rule on it.
The University of Hawaii at Hilo and TMT International Observatory, LLC, in a letter to the Hawai`i Attorney General, have asked that the state Board of Land and Natural Resources not initiate at this time a contested case hearing regarding BLNR’s consent to a sublease to Thirty Meter Telescope builders on Mauna Kea.
On December 16, 2016, Hilo circuit court judge Greg Nakamura, now retired, vacated BLNR’s consent to a sublease by UH to TMT because no contested case was held. A contested case had been requested by E. Kalani Flores.
UH and BLNR appealed Judge Nakamura’s decision and the appeal is now pending before the Hawaii Supreme Court.
In a separate appeal, several parties including E. Kalani Flores have asked the Hawaii Supreme Court to overturn BLNR’s approval of a conservation district land use permit to UH, after a lengthy contested case proceeding before retired state judge Riki May Amano, to build the Thirty Meter Telescope on Maunakea.
