The real issue is the corruption and incompetence of both DHHL and OHA.
The real issue is using "Hawaiian Identity" politics and racism expressed in "blood quanta" as an excuse/justification for these consistent failures.
And of course, to some extent, both "mainstream" national political parties cater to related attitudes.
Bill and Hillary Clinton were at the summit and observatories on Mauna Kea in January, being shown what
the telescopes are accomplishing, I didn't hear them say much about that, but they did mention about their
"apology" in Congress in 1993 for the 1893 overthrow of the kingdom, although that had actually been set up by the "Bayonet Constitution" of 1887. Thus "identity politics" so dear these days to the DNC and the local "old boy element" of the Hawaii Democratic Party. Mention has been made that certain extreme right elements of the
National Republican Party are supporting certain of the local Hawaiian Sovereigntists.
