regarding Kahele's referendum: are we now going to have a referendum for every project
What difference would it make? The protectors already ignore any "due process" that they don't agree with. I can just see it:
"Well, the vote needed to be 2/3 majority, so put it on the ballot again next year."
"Well, the vote needs to only include Hawaiians of sufficient blood quanta, haole votes shouldn't be counted."
"Well, referendum voting isn't Hawaiian, it's something the illegal occupying governement does, so it we don't think the answer is relevant."
I've also seen it suggested that TMT should be built on a recycled location after some other telescope has been decommissioned. Pretty sure this won't satisfy the protectors either. Just like the legal challenge "because they didn't pay the required bond", I'm willing to bet that a bond issue won't satisfy the protectors.
If the TMT ends up moving elsewhere, I really really really hope they sue the State, County, UH, DHHL, and everyone else. Even though my taxes will go up to pay for it.
