I may drifting slightly afield of the matter at hand here, but I could've sworn I read somewhere that a good-sized chunk of the Pohakuloa-lands are currently being leased from the state. Something like 25% of their massive training facility? At something like $1 per year? Or geez....was it $1 for the entire 65 year lease, I wonder?
Again, I may be remembering incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure the lease will be up in 2009, yah?
Any chance the state might be convinced to modify things a bit?
Lease the land to the military for a more rational amount perhaps?
Somewhere in the hundreds-of-millions perhaps?
Orrrr better yet, maybe lease the land in question to a group of individuals with just a wee bit more concern for Hawai'i's endangered plant and animal species? for Hawai'i's culturally-significant historical sites? for Hawai'i's land as a whole? for sayyy...a buck fifty?
