I posted this on the Punaweb election blog but now that I read this, I thought I'd update everyone:
The County Council voted 6-3 on first reading today in favor of the Puna CDP, with non-substantive amendments from Chris Yuen. Councilwoman Emily Naeole voted in favor of it, as did Pete Hoffman, Angel Pilago, Brenda Ford, Dominic Yagong, and Bob Jacobson. So there's just the 2nd reading to turn out for for it to be officially adopted as the vision of the people of Puna!
In another action, the Council took convoluted action that allows the low-prioritizing of cannabis enforcement to go to the ballot in November. So the people will get their chance to individually weigh in on this issue. Yaaayyy, democracy!
