Sen Kahele and his Tmt flip flop lol

[glinda]

it's pretty clear the Kahele's "support" for TMT is pure shibai

I am curious, how does Kai explain these bills? What does he say he hopes they accomplish?

A wise man once said:
"As an example, I believe the astronomy industry (even though I have serious concerns about having given up the summit of Mauna Kea for it) is by far one of the best industries we have on island. I believe it brings in more revenue (approx $150 million annually) as well as causes intelligent people to move here who want a better life for their children than our schools are able to provide. In most cases their kids go to private schools. In some instances children that work for places like Keck are able to get into HPA, and Keck pays 75% of the tuition. If they didn't they would have a lot harder time staffing their facility. If we had more industries that required smart people our government would be encouraged to educate our children better. This in turn would bring greater cultural experiences etc., and in the long run improve our community in many ways. All with a very small impact on the environment compared to tourism. "

That scholarship information is interesting; I'm looking forward to it reaching my classroom.

snorkle - other Big Island schools have managed to get observatory THINK and Akamai funding for their students and teachers. I suggest you tell your school authorities to become involved in the various projects being funded by the TMT and other observatories. If you don't make the effort then you can hardly complain if you don't get the funding.

One problem might be that teachers tell others that the TMT is not funding education on the island, just like you have done. It's wrong, untruthful and unprofessional. If you really have a classroom, you have done your students a serious disservice and should be ashamed of yourself. An apology to your students would be the least you can do.

Tom,he might be a part time instructor ,be gentle my friend. Its possible snorkel and paul w are not as informed as we are, thats part of the process here at punaweb is to inform our punaweb friends. Thats why there is verbal interaction. Be fare
Be well, knowledge is king,and has toppled many a bad regime.

SB936 Removes 2/3 of the funds from the university managed Mauna Kea special fund. 1/3 to a new Hawaiian Homelands managed special fund.

Yes, because those folks sure are so good at managing money!

Then they will criticize UH management of the mauna, ignoring their slashed budget...

Sorry Dan, I thought Kahele had made a flip-flop (as per your thread title) and now supported the telescope, but upon rereading and trying to retranslate your post I’m not sure what his position is. You might want to reread and edit your posts before hitting submit, it’s barely English anymore.

Good luck with that. He obviously doesn't care.
