That being said, what does Molokai Ranch have to do with this ? It was
the fault of Molokai Ranch for trying to force the Molokai community to accept a illogical proposal to develop La'au Point.
Now MPL is trying to dump the responsibility to provide water and sewer service to West Molokai. But according to this article, they
have hidden agenda apparently. Due to Hawaii Supreme Court ruling and
a Attorney General's opinion, if MPL keeps the water system they would 've had to face a protracted legal battle over water rights.
