Introducing this bill now really muddies the issues. They should have waited until next session.
The weird thing is coupling it with Waipio Valley, where there already is a cap on tourist operations, only four companies are allowed, and there already is an overseeing presence monitoring access during daylight hours. In the valley it's the Hawaiians who want to limit access. Some of them have been trying to get the county to put a gate across the pali road for a long time now.
The other thing that is weird is I doubt Mark Nakashima is the driving force behind this. He's just a front, but for what?
