The Wheelabrator Survey was not Scientific

[Greg]

What would it take to put the issue to a referendum? It seems to me that a vote would settle the "for" and "against" question.

I do remember a previous referendum here on the island. It was put before the voters to decide whether or not to place a resort on the only beach in Kohala not already dominated by one. Curiously, the developers and powers that be named the referendum the "Save Hapuna Referendum". (Like a huge resort on Hapuna Beach was going to keep it from disapearing or something.) I can't imagine how many confused voters inadvertantly voted for the resort.

Shades of George Orwell.
